– Shannon A.
“Dr. Shatynski is professional, caring, and considerate.”
– Todd S.
“I saw Dr. Shatynski for Illiospoas Tendonitis that just wasn't wanting to go away. He agreed to let me have the cortisone shot I pushed for and (no fault of his) saw me again after I had a bad reaction to it and didn't improve. He was kind and sympathetic to my resulting job loss and described me nicely in his voice report. He did not scoff at me when I told him I'd been using a natural remedy after the shot made me worse and even put it in his report, which impressed me. He encouraged me to continue seeing my physical therapist and gave me medications to make me more comfortable. My P.T. knows him and that was reassuring. I can only speak for myself but he was one of the nicest doctors I have dealt with. Thank you Dr. Shatynski for your kindness and for making me well. (Yes, I'm better!)”
– Danielle R.
“The doctor was thorough and professional. Also very personable.After reviewing my xrays he gave me options which he felt might resolve my problem. I opted for a shot and within a week, I was just fine. He was very sincere when he encouraged me to call him if I was not feeling better in three weeks and we would pursue a different approach.”
– Matthew F.
“Excellent provider. Spends a good amount of time with me. Does not have his foot out the door the second he walks in. Also, he looks at the difficulties with a step by step approach. He does not mention surgery or prescriptions without first exploring and trying other methods first.”
– Thomas C.
“I love Dr. Shatynski! He's caring, kind and has an excellent bedside manner! He takes the time to speak with me, in regards to any of my questions or concerns! I hate needles of any kind and for the most part, Dr. Shatynski makes me feel at ease, when I need to get an injection in my hip!”
– Robin S.
“He was very helpful when it came to giving me options to my care. He took time to answer all my questions. He has great bedside manners. Never rushed through my appointment with him.
He's a wonderful Dr and I would see him again.”
– Robin S.
“Very friendly, professional and informative. Took the time to explain what was causing my pain and what to expect after treatment.”
– George E.
“I had a great experience working with you and your staff.”
– Jean R.
“Dr. Shatynski is cordial, professional, clear spoken, and kind. I have had appointments with him several times in the past. He always takes a few minutes to put me at ease. When discussing my medical concerns he answers my questions clearly and completely, and always gives me time to process what he has said and ask follow up questions. If he delivers treatment in the office, for example an injection in my hip, he reminds me of what exactly he'll be doing. I especially appreciate the verbal walk through, even though the treatment is very straight forward. A final point, the doctor always encourages wellness by asking about my exercise habits and affirming them. I know Dr. Shatynski is a very competent physician and of course I'm grateful for his skill and knowledge, but his respectful and kind interaction are especially meaningful and appreciated.”
– Mary G.
“He is a great doctor and explained everything very well.”
– Sue N.
“Sharp guy. I will go see him again.”
– Michael O.
“Great appointment with a doctor invested in helping patients find answers. Provided logical next steps and made me feel like I made some progress towards finding out what is going on. I give Todd the highest marks and my most definite recommendation.”
– Jason J.
“The doctor was fabulous! It was refreshing that he listened to me and my concerns. The wait beforehand was long, the receptionist and, I think it was a nurse, whoever brought me to the exam room, both were rather expressionless. The wait to check out was also very long. Initially, I asked to pay my co-pay at the beginning, which would have saved some time, but was told I had to do that at the end. I ended up with the same gal in the end. If it wasn't for the doctor, and his excellence, I would not come back or recommend anyone else to go here.”
– Joanna P.
“I have been in pain for over 20+ years due to knots on top of my shoulders — some days unbearable. Long term treatment was muscle relaxers. Dr. Shatynski said dry needling could be an option. I never heard of it or knew it could be an opportunity. Both of my shoulders treated. Virtually no pain during treatment but afterward my joints were sore. It's only 36 hours later, and I can't thank Dr. Shatynski enough! Other ailments remain but to get one that lingered for years some relief, Thank You, Dr. Shatynski!”
– Matthew H.

“Dr. Shatynski gave me a steroid injection into my hip. He was awesome! He told me what to expect and when but most importantly it didn’t hurt! Little bee sting when the lidocaine went in but even that wasn’t as bad as I expected! It was all over in less than two minutes! I immediately felt some relief! He is terrific at doing the injections! If I need another one I definitely will not stress over it! Thank you for your expertise Dr. Shatynski!”

“Dr. Shatynski was great. After a year of treatment with a different doctor in the practice, I saw Dr. Shatynski.

The only complaint I have is that I wasn’t referred to him sooner.”

“I have found my experience has become much better since Dr. Shatynski has moved into his own office down stairs. He seems to have more time to spend with me and does not seemed as rushed. In addition my waiting time to see Dr. Shatynski has been reduced dramatically. Unfortunately I have a number of issues going on with my back and hips. Dr Shatynski however takes the time to discuss them all and develop options. I really like his ability to think out loud regarding solutions which makes me feel like I am part of the treatment process. He always outlines the options available and works with me to decide on the best plan of care.”
– John P.
“I've seen Dr. Shatynski on numerous occasions for athletic injuries related to triathlon. He is caring, meticulous, and honest. I especially appreciate that he takes his time to assess each issue and his primary concern is in keeping his patients active and healthy, both physically and mentally. His explanations are thorough and his treatments are holistic, with a strong focus on muscular balance and executing movement using proper form. Although I try my best to stay uninjured and out of his office, I'm always impressed with his depth of knowledge and tender demeanor.”
