Mr Shackleford has been my Spine Consultant since 2014/15.
He is absolutely fabulous.
I would definitely recommend him to anyone who has serious spinal issues.
You have to put a lot of trust in to someone who is doing spinal surgery as it is highly risky.
I have total trust in Ian Shackleford.
A highly competent, highly skilled consultant with an excellent bedside manner. Mr Shackleford Or Shack the Back as heaven known locally, performed a double disc replacement on my cervical spine in February 2016 and after years of problems and months of excruciating pain, I am now completely recovered. He’s also one of the nicest men I’ve met in a role that often exudes arrogance. His excellent reputation is well deserved.
I had spinal surgery just over 5 years ago as i couldnt stand straight or walk far and was in tremendous pain. Mr Shackleford was very caring, listenened to everything I had to say, performed my surgery with a fantastic bedside manor, what a lovely man he is.
I can walk straight and long distance now and vertually pain free. He is fantastic and I owe him alot, would definatly recommend him for spinal surgery you are treated as a person not a number.
I have suffered from back problems for about 16 years, I had seen different spinal consultants some good some not so good. I asked my GP for a referral to Mr Shackleford, and immediately he diagnosed what was wrong. He placed me on an urgent waiting list as I needed major spinal surgery ( his words not mine), seven months later he performed my surgery, and the result is I can now sit, walk and live a relatively pain free life, and this is because of this amazing man. He is incredibly talented in his field, and I will be forever thankful that he gave me my life back. Thank you seems inadequate, the man is a marvel.
Mr Shackleford is not only an extremely professional, highly experienced and wonderful surgeon, he is also a very kind and caring gentleman, who listens and genuinely cares for all of his patients. He is an asset to the NHS and without a doubt to Warrington and Halton Hospitals. He is always very polite and has a lovely manner. I would highly recommend anybody who needs an opinion from an orthopaedic surgeon for any issues relating to their spine to consult with Mr Shackleford. He is a truly amazing doctor and in both my own and my mothers opinion, he is absolutely the best.
Thank you Mr Shackleford.
