I incorporate the best practices in musculoskeletal care in a multidisciplinary practice to empower patients to reclaim their function and improve their health. In my practice, I value the process of listening to the patient and understanding the whole person before formulating a treatment plan that achieves positive results for the patient.

Dr. Shahbander is very nice and personable. She cares about the patient.
Dear Dr. S, I rejoice in seeing you each time, and I am proud to call you my doctor and partner in health! You've done an excellent job in giving me a chance to enjoy time with my family as well as enjoy the outdoors, and you helped with my faith. You have provided everything I need to live happily, confidently, and have contentment. It has been a pleasure becoming acquainted and cared for by you. You know me quite well! Thank you for advocating for me over the years, you are a true friend, Dr. S. I don't know what tomorrow may bring, but I hope it's more time spent with you!
I can't imagine seeing anyone else for my specific issues. She really listens and shows respect and kindness, while sharing her expertise
Best doctor I have encountered at DULY or any other medical practice!!
This was my first visit to Dr. Shahbandar. Both Dr. Shahbandar and Sarah, her Medical Assistant, were very compassionate and caring individuals.They both worked as a team to inform me of very useful information I did not know. I am grateful and feel extremely comfortable to be a patient now under Dr. Shahbandar care. I was immediately made to feel my concerns and questions were valid. Dr. Shahbandar set up action plan at the time of my appointment to schedule Physical Therapy and X-Rays to get improvement and assessment started. Cannot thank her enough!!
