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.

Lena is great
Dr. Shahbandar takes the time to find what is happening to my body. She digs in to find the cause of the pain. I trust her and appreciate her.
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!
She took time to answer my questions and clearly explained a treatment plan.
