Patient spotlight-Austin Thomas Austin was the pitcher for his college baseball team until a shoulder injury ended his career. Austin put off having surgery to repair his torn labrum and rotator cuff until years later when he applied to the Fire Fighter Academy, and knew the old injury had to be addressed. Dr. Logan Fields performed surgery to repair Austin‘s shoulder, and after a short month and a half of rehab, Austin reports he had full use if his shoulder and arm!... Unfortunately, just a few months later, Austin was working around his house and suffered the same injury on the other shoulder. The pain was so great he couldn’t even use the turn signal in his truck. This time he immediately reached out to Dr. Fields who quickly got him scheduled for the same surgery on his other shoulder. With two surgeries in three months under his belt, Austin reports he’s not had a single problem with either shoulder in two years. He has full use of both shoulders and arms and is enjoying his role as a fire fighter and a weekend fisherman! Thank you, Austin, for sharing your story and congratulations on the great catch! ...A 50 lb Amberjack caught in Destin, FL last weekend! See more

PATIENT SPOTLIGHT~ After 15 years of bicycle racing, Mark began having pain in his right hip. It got so bad that he had to quit racing at age 30. He went to doctor after doctor, and got the same answer every time he needed a new hip. Dr. Manfredi at Athens Orthopedic Clinic performed a total hip replacement, and as you can see, it has turned out very well! Mark was back on his bike within four weeks of surgery, and now rides every morning before work. ... My only regret about my surgery is that I waited so long to have it done. Dr. Manfredi and David Joselyn (Dr. Manfredi’s PA) took great care of me. After surgery, the PT team helped me push hard to get back to action. AOC helped me get back to doing what I love. Mark

Call 770-554-5009 to schedule an appointment! Check out what Dr. Shuler's patients are saying:... "Dr. Shuler truly is the best! After my son got thrown from an ATV, he was seen at an ER several hours away. We were left to finding our own doctor and figuring out what to do. Luckily we were led to Dr. Shuler. Dr. Shuler’s office got us in immediately and my son was in surgery within a couple of hours. Dr. Shuler took my sons botched up arm and repaired it to where he can now play the sports he loves. We went from thinking his senior year of football was over to now being able to see him on the field. AOC was an absolute answered prayer for us, and I am forever grateful. Dr. Shuler, Wendy, and his entire team are absolutely wonderful!" "Dr.Shuler is top notch. Between myself and 3 children, we have had countless interactions (broken bones) with Dr.Shuler and staff. And, each time our experience yielded relief and extreme satisfaction. Absolutely the best!" "Dr Shuler answered every question. We explored different actions and put together a plan. He was unbelievably very professional, to the point and I would highly recommend him."
