Patient Story of: Tal Keshet

I was five months into treating what everyone believed was a cervical spine (neck) problem. Physical therapy, acupressure, acupuncture, MRIs, pain management, injections – nothing worked, and I was scheduled for neck surgery with another specialist.

Then I met Evan D. Sheha, MD, for a second opinion. He was the first doctor to stop and ask a different question: What if the pain wasn't coming from my neck at all?

He suspected the real source was my shoulder, and he ordered additional imaging to find out. He was right.

That single insight helped me avoid a neck surgery I didn't need. More than that, it put me on the correct treatment path – one that is restoring my strength and eliminating the nerve pain that had taken over my life. I'm back on the mountain bike trails doing what I love.

Dr. Sheha didn't just treat symptoms. He listened, questioned the obvious answer and found the actual cause. I'm deeply grateful for his expertise and his willingness to look past the diagnosis everyone else had already accepted.
