Patient Reviews
Apr 26, 2022
Dr. Shamie is an amazing surgeon. I went to him 11 years ago with a problem with my sacroiliac joint, upon the recommendation of my pain management doc in South OC. The diagnosis was an unstable SI joint, and the recommended surgery was a minimally invasive SI joint fusion. It went flawlessly. I saw Dr. Shamie last week, to check that all was well, and after a CT scan, the implants are in perfect condition and my joint is stable. He's very, very competent, and also a really nice guy to deal with. Highly recommended
