Shanae is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and thoughtful. She provided the most thorough and patient-oriented experience I have ever had. I am so deeply grateful for her comprehensive approach and thorough understanding of scoliosis and its various implications. She made me feel seen and supported. Shanae is a wonderful person and an amazing PA. I feel so lucky to have had this appointment with her and look forward to exploring what options will be most beneficial for me and my scoliosis related pain and challenges. She provided immense hope regarding an otherwise difficult and painful challenge I face. I feel like I finally have a medical professional who understands the struggle, is non judgmental, and authentically and transparently shares potential outcomes and possibilities. I finally feel hopeful.
