Shell William A Jr MD

Today was my first doctor appointment with Dr. Shell at St. Thomas Medical Plaza.
I’ve been in terrible pain with my knee since an ER visit last week at the Emergency room; they referred me to Dr. Shell.
(I thought I was facing knee replacement so I’ve been stressed on top of the pain.)
Dr. Shell treated me today. I had about a 30 minute wait in the lobby, and maybe 5 minutes in the exam room.
After the doctor talked to me about my ongoing problem, he assured me he was not going to «jump into surgery». He believes in trying alternate solutions first (THANK GOD) .
What should have been a very painful procedure ~wasn’t.
Dr Shell used a very quick numbing medicine and treated my knee.
I had instant relief after about 13 days of terrible pain, and was out of there in less than 15 minutes after I met him.
He recommended 2 more days of rest off the leg and things should be back to normal.
Dr. Shell is quiet, straight-​to-​the-​point, and a GREAT DOCTOR.
