Dr. Shay was very knowledgeable, he took the time to thoroughly assess the injury.
The PA who saw me seemed very knowledgeable and was a delight to interact with and I felt she advised me well
Dr Shay and team are amazing they have taken great care of me over my years Dr Shay , Cheryl, Paige and Roberta make sure your needs and concerns are covered and taken care of thank you for the great care
Dr. Shay and his team are always very supportive and always answers my questions and concerns. I would recommend Dr. Shay to anyone who needs foot and ankle ailments.
Been having alot of pain in my foot/heel. Dr. Shay was very helpful and discussed in detail my options. I felt very comfortable talking with him.
Doctor Shay is excellent! His work made it possible for me to keep my foot. He followed up a surgeon who was unsuccessful and was loosing the battle with infection in my great toe. Doctor Shay is incredibly good at what he does, also doctor Shay made it possible for me to get back to work quickly and made time to see me around my work schedule. I would highly recommend doctor Shay
Great energy !!!!!
Very slight wait time. I saw the nurse practitioner. She was great!
Dr. Shay really cares about the person. He is compassionate, professional, down to earth kind of a doctor. Really wants to make the person better as fast as he can and at little expense as possible. He will try every possible solution before to get you better before he has to do surgery. Will not go someplace else for my foot problems, always have to go to Dr. Shay.
Short wait time, very pleasant and professional
Dr. Shay is skillful, punctual and friendly. I would recommend him to friends and family.
Dr Shay was great, came in, had me show him the area I had surgery on by another great Dr, Dr Nickles who would only refer me to Dr Shay to touch his work. He agreed that my ankle maybe getting stronger but is still way too weak not to have some type of custom orthotic to help keep me moving and decrease the pain it is causing other parts of my body. Hope to get this finished with in the year.
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
Dr Shay, is very informative. He takes the time to sit down with you and discuss the best plan to go forward. He also will listen to you when you make suggestions and considers those in his plan. Very impressed. Also the rest of staff are great as well.
I have a reoccurring incident with my left foot and Dr. Shay fixed it and now he’s getting ready to take the heavy-metal out and close it back up and I am so blessed and fortunate to have him as my surgeon
Prompt, courteous service. Had immediate response from treatment
Always responsive to my needs, Dr Shay and his team have been very helpful. My recent visit with PA Cheryl Ehrler was wonderful and she took excellent care of me! Cheers to her for her skill and compassion and to all the staff at ORA!
Dr. Shay, the Anesthesiologist, the OR Nurse…the entire staff was exceptionally attentive. They answered all of our questions patiently and exhibited a wonderful bedside manner. My daughter (who was there to have a foot surgery from a sports injury) said she truly felt they took great care of her! All brought their “A” game which is greatly appreciated.
Great experience, would highly recommend!
My experience at the office and with Dr. Shay and staff has always been very open, friendly, informative and professional. I certainly would recommend him with no hesitation.
Dr Shay is as far as I'm concerned the best possible Surgeon that I was lucky enough to get. He has done an incredible job with my foot & ankle. His expertise & manners make things so much easier with recovery & getting back to almost normal. Him & his personal team are AWESOME. Paige n Cheryl also deserve a lot of credit. I couldn't begin to say enough good things here, just incredible to be 1 of thier patients.
I had surgery on both feet at the same time. Dr. Shay explained everything clearly from the beginning what would be happening and how long everything would take. His entire team was very effeciant and caring and answered every question. If surgery is your last option, then make Dr. Shay your first option! You won't regret it!
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.
Dr.Shay is awesome...he is so knowledgeable and really friendly
Dr. Shay has great bedside manner. He gives you all the information you need to make informed decisions. Surgery went well and he listens to what you need after surgery.
Dr. Shay is a wonderful doctor. I’m preparing for my 2nd surgery with him and have the utmost confidence in his abilities.
Very nice and professional. Very educated and understanding.
After several visits and attempts to avoid surgery, Dr. Shay finally removed the painful neuroma from my foot. I am now pain free from the neuroma. Dr. Shay, his office and surgery staff/nurses explained the procedure well and took wonderful care of me. Thanks Dr. Shay and all.
Dr. Beau Shay was very helpful and professional!
Dr. Shay is an excellent podiatrist, I've seen several over the course of a lifetime, and moving from place to place. Dr. Shay is as quick and smart as you can expect a doctor to be, he quickly diagnosed a new issue for me, and immediately and expertly relieved me of the pain related to it. I'm expecting Dr. Shay to get me through to a well deserved retirement, meanwhile walking 20k to 50k steps a day on concrete floors. I have the confidence that he will get it done.

Dr shay is a good Dr. Very understanding and helpful in my situation. I would recommend him to anyone with problems with your ankle or feet. Keep up the great work Dr. Shay
Professional, straight-forward, informative. The facility and personnel very accommodating. Partnership with the PT folks within the building is very convenient as well.
Dr. Shay was very good to work with. He clearly explained his recommended procedure for my condition . The corrective operation went well and the follow up by the Dr. Shay and his team was excellent.
Friendly and seemed knowledgeable. Didn’t have to wait long after being checked in either.
Staff is wonderful, Dr Shay lays it out pretty straight forward and has good bedside manor. His nurse practitioner is wonderful also. Would definitely recommend. Would also recommend Melanie the PA at the Clinton location. She is the reason I have seen Dr Shay and she was very honest with what she was seeing
Dr. Shay is always very interested in your medical problems and quick to address them.
Great Doctor !! I get shots in my ankles.. Friendly staff,I would totally recommend him, and have to my friends and family🙂 A doctor that knows his stuff!! Thanks Beau, God Bless!!
I have had to have several surgeries so I can walk properly. And I can't think of anyone I would rather have had van dr. Shea! He has always explained what needed to be done and how he would do it. I have and will continue to recommend Dr Shay others.
I get really excellent service at Dr. Shay at ORA Orthopedics. I have been going there for over 4 years.
Dr Shay is great. Very much to the point and doesnt play around. Great personality also.
I felt comfortable with Dr.Shay & his associate She took time to explain everything to me so I totally understand what was going to happen. Dr.Shay did my surgery & follow up. So far I am very impressed with his knowledge. My ankle is healing as expected
Dr Shay is a great foot doctor and I highly recommend him and his NP Cheryl
Altho I didn't personally speak with the doctors, all the staff are courteous, friendly, warm and helpful. Reception tries to remember me when I do follow-ups, x-ray techs are conversational as they politely instruct and adjust, doc assistants and nurses are thorough and have great bedside manner. They allowed me to ask all my questions, and went over every option moving forward.
Excellent doctor and nurse practitioner!
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.
Great Dr. wonderful team, great helpers, really want to help you, and super efficient
Dr. Shay helped me to regain my mobility and fixed my ankle so I was able to walk pain free again. Dr. Shay and staff was very helpful during my rehab from surgery, and always friendly and took time to answer any questions I had. I highly recommend Dr. Shay to anyone that needs help with foot or ankle problems.

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.
By far the best Dr. in the Quad Cities
Very friendly, compassionate doctor. Will answer all your questions or concerns.
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!!!!
I’ve had problems with my Achilles for almost two years, and Dr. Shay has been nothing but excellent. He really takes the time to sit with you and make a plan of action to recover.
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
