Dr. Shea believes the best care begins with listening. By partnering with each patient, he develops individualized treatment plans—surgical or nonsurgical—that help them return to the activities they enjoy.
Outside of work, Dr. Shea enjoys skiing and rock climbing.
Dr. Shea currently sees patients in Reno, Sparks, and Carson City, providing advanced neurosurgical care and state-of-the-art treatment options for brain and spine conditions throughout Northern Nevada.
Very good bedside manner and seems caring about his patients needs and wants I will be returning to him for sure!
I found Dr. Shea exceptional in this community with only a few other doctors the same and why is that because he didn’t have the attitude that let’s just make him comfortable. He’s in his 90s too many physicians are not acting as physicians and it happens extremely in this community and I know what I’m talking about because I live in a senior housing group. I feel that he listened and cared about me as a human being not a paycheck. It would be nice if all your physician spelt the same but don’t feel alone as indicated in this message.
He’s very nice and he listens
I couldn’t have been happier with this young man as a doctor. Especially happy with the diagnosis.
Dr. Shea was professional, courteous and explained the process going forward.
He was very patient and explained everything I asked about.
Great experience with Dr Shea. He was very helpful.
Very thorough analysis and explanation
I was very pleased how well he explained every option to me. Very happy to have him as my doctor and surgeon.
Appears confident, extremely knowledgeable, concerned for my well-being.
