I love that he tries the non surgical ways first and is not on a hurry to slice someone open. I would definitely recommend him for all feet and ankle problems. Thank you Dr Shay
Staff are all very friendly, wait times are very short! Connor was a great physical therapist... Dr. Shay got my foot back to being pain free!
Dr. Shay is very informative. Has helped me a lot. I have been a patient if his since 2015. Dr. Shay is great he takes the time to talk and explain everything to you.
Dr. Beau Shay is a professional. He has exceptional bedside manners, he explains what is going on and what the options are and his best opinion as to what would be the best outcome for your situation. I would always recommend Dr. Shay and ORA!! I thank you Dr. Shay!!!
Beau knows toes! Did a great job fixing my most important toe.

Been off work since October 2019. Dr Shay recently repaired torn tendons in my ankle. I’m confident this will get me back to work. I highly recommend him. He’s the best in our area.
Very polite and informative dr make you feel right at home very friendly and helpful and caring staff would highly recommend to anyone!
Dr. Shay is awesome and fantastic, he is helping me with my foot and My recovery is going great I’m so lucky to have Dr. Shay as my doctor.
Dr.shay and his team are great. Quick and efficient, office is clean and organized. My feet received shots and are starting to feel little better so far. Still a waiting game for the injection to kick in
Dr. Shay is great! He listened to my concerns, answered my questions & helped resolve my issue of pain. Very personable & polite.
Quick appointment scheduling, solution focused, ready to help!
DR Shay is always willing to listen and make changes to my foot health if needed.
There patients and explain everything in detail and very caring
My first appt. at ORA was in the late 80s....concern without condescension, honesty, and courtesy are mainstays that have kept me returning to ORA since my first visit. Larger buildings, more docs and staff, and increasing ability to serve the community....the original mindset is alive and well. Most recently Dr. Shay cleaned up some pesky callouses while listening and answering my questions. I call him my colorful doc.....always a bright color as part of his office wear.. his great smile and easy laugh brighten my day.
Dr. Shea recently saw my 5 year old daughter due to a traumatic toe amputation. He made time to see us urgently due to the need of the situation. He examined the situation, discussed best practice treatment, and confidently assured us that he would do his best to reattach the toe. Prior to the emergency surgery, he discussed the plan of care again to assure our understanding and consent. Following the surgery, he has continued to provide the best quality of care through communicating future plans and ensuring our understanding prior to leaving the appointment. While this was the first time we met Dr. Shea, I would highly recommend him to others as he demonstrates highly specialized skills with great communication to ensure a positive outcome. We truly appreciate the service he provided to our daughter. Thank you, Dr. Shea.
Dr. Shay and team are top notch!!
My appt was at 3:10. Got into my appt in timely manner. Was seen promptly. Friendly staff and Wait was minimal. Thank you for great service!
Doctor Shay is very knowledgeable in the treatment and care of the foot and ankle. He and his staff take the time and care to heal your injuries in the best possible way. I would highly recommend Dr. Shay.
Informational and helpful and listens. Flexibility is appreciated with schedules and untimely accidents. Good staff in place. Wants what is best for patients it seems..
Great, friendly staff!!!! Had a partial amputation of one of my toes. Dr. Shay came into my room at Genesis East and explained the surgery and what to expect for rehab. I didn't have any questions for him.
Dr. Shay is great. Very professional but at the same time he’s very friendly.
Very friendly, compassionate doctor. Will answer all your questions or concerns.
Dr. Shay is one highly intelligent and very great educated physician surgeon that I recommend to everyone.straight to the point and keeps it professional. Thank you so much for your time and consideration and service.
I’m always impressed by Dr. Shay. He’s helping me with my foot in the best way he can. I recommend him to my friends who have feet issues. Thank you Dr. Shay
Hands down, best surgeon. Straight to point, and gets things done asap. Highly recommend!
Great job fixing my toe!
Dr. Shay is very efficient during the visit. And is willing to explain conditions and alternatives.
Two years ago my diabetic husband had an open wound on his toe and Dr. Shay tried every possible solution over the next few months and when none of them healed it he explained to us that the best possible solution then was to do surgery. So he did surgery and put a screw in my husband's toe. A year later my husband's body started rejecting the screw so he went back in for surgery to replace it. A couple weeks ago his toe got infected and the screw appeared to be backing out again. So back to surgery he went to remove the screw completely, still trying to save the toe. Every time we had even a slight concern over the past 2 years Dr. Shay always made sure my husband got seen ASAP and he's explained everything and made sure we understood whether it was just appointments in the beginning and in between or before and after surgery. He's been absolutely amazing over the past 2 years my husband has been seeing him and he truly does care about his patients.
Dr Shay, is an amazing Dr! He really does believe that there’s no stupid question. He listens and explains in context I can understand. You can tell he has your health covered in every aspect!
DR SHY dont only listen he knows what he is doing plus he does good work on his surgery. He doesnt beat around the bush with you a real honest person n to the point.
Knowledgeable. Thorough explanation of care.
Dr. Shay fixed a painful arthritic condition in my foot. I had endured a lot of pain for two years until he fixed it with surgery. Dr. Shay and all his surgery and nursing staff explained the procedure well. I feel I got the red carpet treatment by Beau Shay, and I'm confident my foot will soon be close to as good as new. The big bunion that was on it is also gone. Thank you Dr. Shay. One negative: I encountered a very abrasive, rude staff member, however this is unusual at ORA. I have to admit the visit was a little rushed at times. A lot of patients.
I give Beau Shay, Cheryl, and some of the staff five stars. However, two of the staff were not friendly. However, I don't appreciate the bullish and argumentative behavior of the person who removed my cast. The other staff was just plain rude. Who knows why.
Dr. Shay has made it very easy and comfortable changing over to him when you have been seeing a different doctor for 14 years. His staff has been great also. Would highly recommend Dr. Shay!
Dr shay is amazing, His bedside manner and how he cares about his patients. He goes above and beyond!!!!
Great staff. Doctor very up front about procedures and options. Very caring.
Dr. Shay has been great explaining what happened with my foot injury, the options, and our game plan. He took the time to answer my questions, didn't just rush me through.
Nice, patient office staff. Dr. Shay easily discovered severe arthritis was what was causing my foot to break, basically, and I'm set for surgery to get it fixed.
Short wait times and Dr. Shay is kind and helpful
Satisfactory courteous and efficient
I highly recommend Dr Shay. He is a great doctor who is ready to help!
Due to issues from a car accident . I needed to have a triple fusion done on my left foot. I won't lie... I was so scared. I am a store manager of a women's clothing store. I don't sit down! For 7or 8 hours sometimes 10 hours a day. It's my life. Dr Shay joked with me. He was kind. And even though I was still scared, I knew he would make it better. He never talked down to me. He explained what he was going to do. His assistant held my hand while I was being prepped for surgery. I had my surgery Feb 4, 2020. Today .. I am almost 6 months out. I'm not perfect yet. But I'm getting there. The pain is gone. I'm working again. It's all because of Dr Shay . Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! Stacey G.
Dr. Shay answered all my questions. He was very personable and knowledgeable. He gave me options and allowed me to decide on my best treatment. I would recommend him to everyone!
First I really like dr Shay he is very knowledgeable and cares about you.
Dr Shay is great. Knowledgeable, personable and caring.
Dr. Shay is a great doctor.
Love Dr. Shay! He takes his time and explains everything to you. He listens to what you say. Anytime you need anything he is willing to help.
Great, Dr. Shay is very friendly and listens to your concerns.
I experienced A problem with my foot that required surgery I was taken in quickly and have experienced no problem whatsoever Doctor Shay and the staff at ORA are all very professional and compassionate I highly recommend Doctor Shay.
ORA and Dr Shay are the best. Listened to what I had to say and told me what my options were. Would Recommend ORA and Dr Shay.
I wasn't sure what to expect for foot pain when I went to see Dr Shay. When I explained all my problems and issues while walking or standing, we decided on shoe inserts to try to alleviate some of the problems. It did help, but not long term. So the only thing left, in my case, was to proceed with corrective surgery. The date was set and we got it done. Now if I can just stop being my usual clumsy self and falling into things, kicking it into heavy objects and other people walking on it...it will feel so much better
Outstanding
Dr. Shay is amazing! I don't think I would be walking as well as I am today without him. I have had a couple surgeries on my foot and one on my ankle. I highly recommend Dr. Shay to anyone who is having foot or ankle problems. It did take a while for the swelling to go down but once it did I am very happy. Thank you Doctor Shay!
Great patient care, quick treatment, have me options
He took over on a very tough foot Repair. He and his positive and enthusiastic energy reassured me it was going to work out for the good. It wasn't easy for him or I but I listened and followed his instructions. I am fully recovered and returning to work. I honestly couldn't have asked for better care and I could never Thank him enough.
Dr. Shay, is a very personable and skilled surgeon. I had a joint fused in my ankle last year, and he has been with me all through my recovery. I would highly recommend him to others.
Excellent !!!
Excellent !!!
Highly professional
Dr. Shay, and everyone else was very kind to me, and very competent. I recommend them if you have an issue. Wait times in the rooms are a given, though if you arrive early you might be seen earlier. Lastly, visits are brief, but very to the point. All in all, I had a pretty great experience.
Competent, caring, and friendly doctor and staff. Worry-free experience. Thanks!
I felt that Dr Shay and his staff were extremely knowledgeable and caring. He made a point to inform of my injury in detail and how it could be corrected. Though i was a bit apprehensive, they gave me a sense of calm. After the surgery, he and his staff provided great orthopedic care. I TYPICALLY DON'T WRITE REVIEWS . Not to mention that during my recovery, I found that he and his staff are the "rock stars" of the orthopedic profession. A great many people like this doctor and his staff. A very pleased patient S.E. Thomas
Great doctor always listen to what I have to say.
Went to see Dr. Shay for foot pain.
Awesome provider. Great bedside manner. Actually listens to your concerns and needs as a patient. Talks with you verses talking at you using a whole lot of medical jargon. Speaks in terminology a patient can understand. I feel comfortable and informed whenever I have an appointment with Dr Shay or his Nurse Practitioner. Definitely recommend!
Always excellent service by the staff and the physicians,
They are very compassionate in your care and over all health and well being. just a great facility with great nurses and doctors
Very knowledgeable and I felt confident with my treatment! Got me out of a cast and into a walking boot quickly!
Staff is great both personal and knowledgeable along with attentiveness. Dr Beau Shay is a fantastic Dr and surgeon.
Dr Shay took great care of my mom. He is the epitome of what a doctor should be - caring, approachable and professional.
Had a life changing injury to my left foot & ankle. Dr Shay was honest and direct with me. My treatment was slow at first due to nature of injury. Dr Shay was very competent and reassuring. Staff at ORA were great, after 5 yrs and many visits. Thanks DR Shay & ORA!
Knowledge and Skill beyond compare! Dr. Shay's bedside manner shines through as he spends the time listening to all your questions and helps you make an informed decision about your care. I developed flat feet after a previously botched surgery and was in constant pain. Dr. Shay reconstructed 1 foot/ankle at a time by lifting my arches, realigning my heels and lengthening my Achilles tendons and repaired all the tendon/ligaments needed and within 6 months total time I was able to walk with no pain. Most recently I had Dr. Shay amputate my little toe (I was constantly snagging it on furniture & re-breaking it) and I was walking immediately and within 1 1/2 weeks I was back into a shoe! Best foot/ankle doctor ever! Thank you Dr. Shay! Go Clemson!! 🙂
Great place, Dr Shay did a fantastic job. I'm not going to embellish this review so here goes... The 20 minutes total I was awake (in appointments) and talking with him before and after surgery were awesome! Haha, he also did an amazing job on my foot (so far), I'll update if my foot falls off......
I'm 100% satisfied with the service I received at ORA and Dr. Shay.
He listened to all my worries. Made sure I didnt push myself too hard so i didnt get hurt more than I already was. Awesome i would come back to him again!!
Conscientious, skilled, personable and friendly.
Dr. Shay always listens to your problems and gives you options
Dr. Shay is personable and efficient. He took time to answer my questions and was very attentive. I highly recommend him and his team.
I had to wait in a room with no reading materials available for up to almost an hour.other than this redicous Wait it was fine.please check in with people who are staring at the walls sooner if it's going to be a long wait for the dr.or at least give them heads up if it's going to be a long wait. .courteousness and communication to anyone sitting in a room waiting for a long time would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Dr. Shay seems very interested in your problem and getting to the bottom of it. He seems to really care about you, your feelings and making sure you are comfortable with him and what ever procedure you choose. He sits and listens to what is bothering you and pays attention.
Dr. Shay is straight forward, but takes time to explain and answer questions. I believe he tries to do the right thing for each patient. I had received a "standard" treatment plan from another doctor, but after meeting me, Dr. Shay suggested a less serious surgery to take into account other health factors. I agreed with him then, but even more so now that I am in the recovery phase. I am very grateful that he tailored my treatment plan to my long-term health status. Also, the nurses, support staff, facility, etc are top notch. They are kind people who are effective in their positions. I would recommend Dr. Shay and ORA in general to everyone.
Dr Shay and his staff are wonderful. Great bedside manner and comforting during surgery and other procedures. Very compassionate and friendly.
Doctor Shay is so good. i really dont like doctors but he mad me feel very comfortable. He doesnt look old enough to be a doctor but he is awesome. i highly recommend ORA. I only sat for a few minutes before I went back to see him. You are in and out quickly. My fist visit he took the time to explain every options for my heal spur.
Dr. Shay is a nice guy and straight to the point. I appreciated his time, and it was time well spent for me.
I have visited the ORA for many years and for every doctor in the past and present have taking very good care of me. They answer every ? Very explanatory to my situation. I would recommend them to my family and friends
I saw Dr. Shay for my painful and achy feet. He did X-rays and examining my feet. He told me my X-rays looked great but because I am experiencing pain, he recommended custom molded orthotics. Cassie and Nicole in the cast room were excellent as well with making my molds. Roberta, Dr. Shay’s nurse was very nice and helpful as well.

I have been having trouble with my second time on my left foot since my big toe was removed. Dr Shea told me there are some things he can do to help with the pain and how it bends by doing tendons etc.
Great experience, got in fast and got taken care of.
Excellent Great rapport with patient. Focused but not rushed. Felt he cared about my issue. Clearly explained treatment options. His care resolved my pain. Would highly recommend him.
