I was injured at work and hurt my shoulder and neck. I saw an orthopedic in garner for my shoulder and they incorrectly diagnosed me with a torn trapezius. Luckily my workmans Comp also wanted my neck looked at and Dr. Shanti instantly told me he thought nothing was wrong with my shoulder, it was all neck. MRI confirmed his suspicions. And after exhausting all other options first, we ended up going to surgery for ACDF surgery on my neck. Dr. Shanti is hands down the best physician I have ever been treated by. Bedside manner is above and beyond. I come from a family of nurses, most surgeons come to check on their post ops maybe once a day, or they just write orders for the nurses and don’t interact at all. Dr. Shanti came to see me three times in one day. Always asked how I was doing first, instead of getting his information from my nurses (who see also amazing -great job wake med cary) , we came to me and listened to my progress first hand. Answers all questions throughly, never makes you feel rushed, clearly a perfectionist in terms of my incision, manages my pain well. I’m healing well now and will hopefully get back to working and doing what I love very soon! I count myself lucky to be his patient. This office also has a great front desk staff. Don’t go anywhere else, this place is the best
