Dr. Shavelson is amazing!!! I came to him after injuring a tendon in my foot that runs up the inside of my calf. I had no idea what it was - my ankle was swollen and I limped around for a few days before find Dr. Shavelson on ZocDoc. From the moment I met him, I felt like I knew him my whole life.

Dr. Shavelson gave me advice on how to handle a juvenile bunion. Although I will most probably need surgery he did not pressure me into getting the procedure done quickly, and instead went through measures I could take to fix it slightly and prevent the bunion from getting worse, and to correct the mechanics underlying it so that if/when I do have surgery, I will be more likely to make a permanent recovery.

Absolutely fantastic doctor. Quickly recognized my ankle problem wasn't in fact any ankle problem but a high foot problem. Prepped himself before our meeting based on what info I gave him. Very professional, highly recommend.

Dr. Shavelson was very kind, knowledgeable and helpful. He went above and beyond to educate me about the root cause of my issue instead of just giving me a quick solution. I would highly recommend seeing him!
