He's renewed my trust in physicians because he takes the time to get things right and ignores the snap judgements made and documented in medical notes. Instead he actually LOOKS with a finely trained eye at the MRI and draws his own conclusions--determined to address symptom etiology. What a blessing to patients desperate for appropriate diagnosis and support.

Dr. Shankle has saved my life. Labs say I should be deteriorated but with meds and expert care tweeting based on spinal fluid results I remain symptom free, nine years and counting.
I'm waiting for him to come back from vacation so I can visit him one on one

Very good office and staff to deal with
Dr. shankle is the most educated and aware neurologist I ever found. But he is also caring and willing to listen to things that I share with him about my dealing with my Alzheimer’s conditions. It is not just about the condition but about how it affects me and how to handle things. He is the best!
Always EXCELLENT! I highly recommend Dr Shankle and his practice. He’s made a world of difference for me in my “brain journey”).
I was so happy he provided access to the appointment via Zoom so my two daughters could join in. One of them residing in the state of Georgia.
Great help and kind to your patients. The wonderful parts were to see your smiles and kindness. I thank you all for making my day. Patti Migliaro 6611 Doral Drive Huntington Beach.
Dr Shankle is very thorough using the latest testing to support his recommendations to delay to onset of dementia. He is very knowledgeable which supports his thinking ‘outside of the box’. I trust his reasoning that has kept my mild cognitive impairment from progressing for many years beyond expectations.
They have a methodical way of gauging your progress using metrics that can indicate either progress or decline, while also considering temporal conditions at the time of testing such as sleep deficit, exercise, diet, etc. Doctor Shankle is engaging and has a wealth of knowledge along with a professional staff with a variety of unique talents needed to operate the practice.
Dr. Shankle and staff have been very helped giving me the information I needed to understand what is going on with my body. Dr. Shankle let me know that he has been working on this condition for years and there are ways to slow, stop or even have some reversing. In a very short time I have already noticed a major improvement.

He has a huge amount of experience and knowledge of this horrible disease. He gives me hope.

Doctor Shankle’s vast experience and love for his patients has allowed Carolyn and I to live a normal life with Carolyn’s memory loss the past seventeen Years. Doctor Shankle is really Sharp. During a December 5 2024 meeting He kept asking questions. Finally he asked “ how does she sleep. I said “great “ . Driving home I recalled Carolyn had a very bad night sleep the night before. Dr Shankle knows all the answers and works with us until he gets the right answers from us. We are so fortunate to be able to go to Doctor Shankle. He keeps us on the right track .
