Spine care in Shelby Township

Shelby Township is where the practice is based. The office sits in the Shelby Macomb Medical Mall on Schoenherr Road, in the stretch of northern Macomb County between M-59 and 23 Mile Road, and it is the only location — there is no rotating satellite schedule and no second office where a different surgeon takes over.

That matters more than it sounds. A spine problem is rarely settled in one visit: imaging gets reviewed, symptoms are re-examined after a few weeks of treatment, and the decision about whether to operate often comes later than the first consultation. Being a few minutes from the office makes that sequence practical rather than burdensome.

Getting to the office

Schoenherr Road runs north–south through this part of Macomb County, so most Shelby Township addresses reach the office without touching a highway. From the west side of the township, 23 Mile Road and M-59 (Hall Road) both connect across to Schoenherr.

Where surgery happens

Two hospitals serve patients from here, and from Shelby Township they are a similar distance apart:

  • Henry Ford Macomb Hospital, 15855 19 Mile Road, Clinton Township
  • Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital, 44201 Dequindre Road, Troy

Because neither is meaningfully closer, the operating site is chosen on clinical grounds — the equipment a particular procedure needs, and where the case is best supported — rather than on driving distance. That is discussed before anything is scheduled.

What patients usually come in for

The consultations that start here tend to fall into three groups: a new problem with imaging that has not yet been explained clearly; a recommendation for surgery from elsewhere that the patient wants reviewed independently; and symptoms that persisted after a previous operation. All three are routine reasons to be seen.

If you are weighing an operation someone else has proposed, the second opinion page explains how that visit is structured. To look at a specific diagnosis first, the conditions library covers the ones seen most often.

Common questions

Questions from Shelby Township patients

Is the office actually in Shelby Township?

Yes. The practice has one office, in the Shelby Macomb Medical Mall on Schoenherr Road in Shelby Township. There are no satellite locations, so the surgeon you consult is the surgeon you see at every visit.

Which hospital would my surgery be at?

Depending on the procedure, either Henry Ford Macomb Hospital in Clinton Township or Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital. From Shelby Township both are a comparable distance, so the choice is driven by what the operation requires rather than by geography.

Do I need a referral from my primary care doctor?

No. You can request an appointment directly. Many patients arrive with imaging already done and a recommendation for surgery they want examined more carefully.
