Dr. Rush is a highly skilled surgeon and podiatrist. 4 years ago I was faced with ankle fission or replacement surgery. My podiatrist referred me to Dr. Rush and after discussing my situation with him. I decided on ankle replacement surgery. Dr. Rush was extremely helpful post surgery too. He was extremely helpful during the recovery process and continues today! I am.very grateful Dr. Rush was my surgeon. My situation would be more difficult if I had another surgeon!

You can't find a better doctor and I've had my share. He is knowledgeable, very skilled and really makes you understand what he's going to do
Nov-2021
Dr Rush’s office did not seem to be very concerned about Covid. I am immunocompromised and my requests for some simple accommodations were denied. Dr Rush came into the room and put out his hand to shake mine, this seemed inappropriate. His mask was worn below his nose. I do not plan to return to his office. I have found other doctors and their staff to be much more accommodating to my request for Covid precautions.

A great communicator who speaks with clarity and conviction. Dr. Rush explained the x-ray images and advised me to invest in better shoes, i.e. shoes that provide firm foot support, and conversely to avoid or minimize the use of shoes that provide little support.
I am reassured and shall follow his advice.

I highly recommend Dr. Shannon Rush!
I visited Dr. Rush, having injured my ankle playing tennis. From the first appointment, Dr. Rush thoroughly evaluated, developed, and shared a clear diagnosis. After confirming the diagnosis through additional tests, he discussed with me, the surgical strategy, rehab, and short/long term expectations. His physicians assistant team followed up immediately engaging the process. There was never a communication breakdown. The surgery process was equally as warm, professional, and efficient. Post surgery was not an after thought process. Dr. Rush was as attentive and engaged as the first appointment. He made sure my questions were answered and reiterated expectations moving forward.
Meeting Dr. Rush and his team, has been a very positive healthcare experience. If you need an orthopedic specialist, look no further!
