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
I enjoyed the whole thing and it was very gratifying.
Dr Shankle as a world leader in AD and other cognitive disorders research he continues to be committed to the recovery of all of his patients with cognitive disorders AD and even on hospice rehabilitation care. My husband and I feel very fortunate and blessed to be in his care.

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
I’m not happy with the cost of continuing to see him.
I had an appointment for cognitive testing and vital signs and review of medications, which were done efficiently with little waiting time. My husband and I then met with Dr. Shankle. He was very courteous, was positive about my cognitive health, and took the time to ask questions and receive questions and answers, and to explain further tests that he then ordered. It was a good yearly review.
I have been going to see Dr Shankle now for about 4 years. My mother died from Alzheimer’s and since it is an inherited disease I asked my GP for a reference to a neurologist. She recommended Dr Shankle located in Newport Beach. He is a world renowned necrologist. I got tested and found out I had the gene. Through his treatment I’ve been able to stave off the worst symptoms of Alzheimer’s and have been able to live a normal life. One time I was sitting in his waiting room and got to talking to another person who was there with her mother. They were from Canada. They asked for a neurological referral and their dr recommended Dr Shankle. Just Google him and you’ll see the excellent reviews. I highly recommend him.
Very responsive, detailed, attentive to all questions
