This was my 4th visit with Dr Shankle’s office. I’m extremely happy with Dr Shankle, he is very thorough and has a lot of experience. His staff are also very attentive and kind.
Doctor took time & explain. Officers staff very nice.

Very comfortable atmosphere. Dr. Shankles team is on top of the game
It is a privilege to have Dr. Shankle time and advice. He has identified several very easy and inexpensive solutions that are working great for me. I feel better.
Incredible team and Dr Shankle is a true neuroscientist and professional

Dr. Shankle has so much knowledge regarding Dimentia and Alzheimer's that I have so much confidence in his analysis of my level and what is best for me. Best of all I can see with my regular check ups progress. If he feels a change is needed I'm more than happy to try it out. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR Shankle to anyone that may have a family history of Alzheimer's or even if you have some concerns with challenges/changes in your memory recall. Don't wait, he is a busy man and it's best to call and book an appointment with him as soon as you have a concern regarding your recalling things. Don't WAIT!! Call right away.
Dr. Shankle is wonderful. He is very kind, helpful and understanding my problems with my memory. I'm getting better now and he's giving me more support to improve. I truly believe he's the best Dr. I have seen 2 other doctors before I met him, and they were not helpful.
Excellent
All the staff takes the time you need to explain your concerns and will help you anytime you call!
Dr. Shankle is very knowledgeable, caring, professional and able to connect with his patients. He is the best!
Wonderful experience with Dr.Shankle and his staff. He is very kind, very easy to talk to and takes time to explain things in terms you can understand. He truly cares about you and his staff is very diligent in staying in contact to make sure you are doing good and check on any thing needed. Unusual in this day and age - very impressed with the entire team.
Dr. Shankle and his staff are amazing. Thorough, patient, caring, and helpful. They communicate with all my family and welcome all 4 of us on the appointment. Dr. Shankle uses graphics and shows us what is happening in my brain so we can all understand it. I feel so supported by him and his staff.
I am very thankful to have Dr Shankle as my specialist. I am doing quite well. I highly recommend him. he is “best in class!” He is incredibly knowledgeable and caring.
I’m a VERY particular patient and when I say that Dr Shankle is the most EXCELLENT physician I know, please believe me. I’ve been seeing him since 2011 and I HIGHLY recommend him. He’s the BEST!!!
Very pleasant, felt very comfortable talking with Dr.Shankle. All of our questions were answered in a manner that we could understand. Had a good visit!
Dr. Shankle is both very knowledgeable and very caring. We are so fortunate to have such innovative and capable medical care to help us find solutions for such difficult health issues.
It was very helpful to understand what had happened to me. Having a stroke is frightening and to someone explain what happened to me brain wise was very calming.
Excellent patient evaluation and care through scientific tools like MRI and lumber puncture tests - perhaps BEST in Orange County
Great doctor. Always attentive. Excellent suggestions. Always knows how to treat his patients.
He is the best and staff
Excellent
Dr Shankle and his staff are incredible. They are on the forefront of the fight against Alzheimer’s. The specialized care is excellent!
Dr. Shankle has been patient, helpful and understanding. I most appreciate that he listens to me and works with me.
Brilliant
Have not yet spoken toDr Shankle . But he spoke to my daughter and told her that the results from my M R I showed I had a stroke or something on the upper part of my brain on the left side . I do not know why he didn`t call me and tell me. I had an auto accident on March 19th and an air bag attacked me from my car, could that have caused the problem with my brain . Carol Klein
