I was referred to Dr Sheely for a tear in my hip. She referred me to pain management for an injection and therapy. None of which had any effect. I then chose to go forward with surgery and was told that she doesn't perform surgery. I was referred to an Austin clinic. Recently I injured my ACL, my PCP sent over a new referral for this particular injury. I was all set , so I thought . I got a call three days prior to my appointment and was told my appointment needed to be canceled. I asked what day it would be rescheduled and was informed that it would not be rescheduled. No reason given I was just turned away. I'm back to square one . Shame on this office putting me in this position prolonging my pain and discomfort. I offer zero stars due to my experiences. read more

I have known Dr. Sheely for more than 10 years and have always had a fabulous experiences with her. I recommended her to both my best friend for her knee surgeries and my father for his shoulder surgery. All had excellent results. If you're looking for a physician with heart who will listen to you and wants you to get better, this is your next orthopedic surgeon. I always appreciate her kindness and warmth as well. Excellent bedside manner. 5 big, bright stars! read more

On Tuesday, August 18, 2015, I sustained an injury to my left knee. The injury did not seem particularly serious until the next day, when swelling and pain caused me to seek treatment at Seton Medical Center Hays in Kyle. During the ER visit there, X-rays were taken, showing no broken bones. I was issued a knee immobilizer and a pair of crutches and referred to Dr. Christina Sheely, DO. It was late when I was discharged from the ER, but I immediately called Dr. Sheely's office to try to schedule a follow up. I was told that they had not received the referral from the hospital, but they would contact me as soon as they did to schedule an appointment. By late afternoon on Thursday, August 20th, I had not heard from them, so I called and was told that my insurance required a referral, not from the ER, but from my PCP. I contacted my Primary Care Provider's office and they got the referral in on Friday, August 21st. Finally, I was able to schedule an appointment for Thursday, August 27th. Only nine days after the initial injury! The office visit seemed to go well enough, in spite of the fact that Dr. Sheely popped in for all of one minute to concur with her PA's decision that an MRI was called for. I was told that they would get authorization from my insurance and submit the order for the MRI to Radiology at Seton Medical Center Hays. Realizing that such things can take time, I waited. And waited. Until September 2nd, I waited before calling Dr. Sheely's office back to see why there was such a delay in my treatment. I was told by the referral department that there was no order in their system for an MRI. Since that department had no knowledge of why that order wasn't there, I was sent to the voicemail box of Nancy, the medical assistant. I left a detailed message and awaited a response. The following day, I had an appointment with another doctor in the same building and stopped by Dr. Sheely's office to inquire about the situation. I was told that the order was, in fact, in their system and was presented with a copy. I immediately called Seton Medical Center Hays Radiology, who informed me that no such order had been sent to them. It was then that I noticed the date on the order - September 2, 2015. The previous day. So, there was no order when I called. Turns out, there was no request to my insurance, either. That was submitted, according to the insurance company, on September 3rd. So, the 24 to 72 hour approval process, that should have been complete by August 31st, at the very latest, didn't even start until four days after that. Best case scenario, thanks to a 3-day weekend, is that I may get authorization on September 8th; another Tuesday. Exactly three Tuesdays since my injury. If that happens, I have no reason to expect that Sheely's (sorry, I'm just dropping the honorific at this point) office will act promptly on that. Still, even if they do, maybe I get an MRI a couple of days later. That will be Thursday, September 10th. I've lost count, but I think that's three weeks since I saw (glimpsed) her. Is there even still a need for an MRI? I could have grown a new limb by now. As you can imagine, I hardly expect any visit to her office for the results of the image to be scheduled in a timely fashion. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt, though, and assume they get me in the following Tuesday. That will be four weeks since the injury. Damn fine emergency care, Seton! I really hate that this happened. It's my first, and possibly only, impression of this Seton associate. Still, it has ruined my high opinion of the whole organization. My previous visits to their hospital have been about as good as you can expect. I am a big fan of my PCP, David Clampitt, and my Hematologist, Boone Goodgame. Also, it is worth noting that Sheely's PA, Grace, was amazing, as well. Still for a practice to drop the ball this badly, and prevaricate about that drop, is beyond the pale. I won't say they came right out and lied to me about what was sent or when, but trying to sell their ignorance as fact doesn't inspire loyalty, it inspires contempt. In short, I don't know if I still trust the giant corporation that I have entrusted my well-being to. If I were to advise others on this, I'd advise them to weigh all their options carefully before picking Seton. read more

About a year and a half ago, I injured my wrist. At the Brackenridge Emergency Department (awesome ER) there were no broken bones but it showed a small fracture in one bone on my wrist. I was referred to "Dr" Sheely. The MRI was taken showing a cyst on my wrist and slight fracture. I was given a prescription of Hydro (that I never took one pill of) and was sent on my way. Fast forward to a few months ago. I reinjured my wrist at work and again was referred to Sheely. After she was unable to work the ultrasound machine, and having to have an outside physician do it, she ordered another MRI. Again, it showed there was a small cyst. Then after getting the results back she immediately said that she felt the injury was self inflicted for pain meds. She then said she'd clear me for work "when she had time". Keep in mind all she had to do was fax 1 sheet of paper that consisted of writing her name. I guess that was too difficult seeing as how it took her over a week to do so. I strongly recommend taking your injuries elsewhere. read more

would avoid "Dr." Christina M. Sheely have severe Osteoarthritus in both knees and Dr. Sheely decided not to see me, without explanation. I know it is the Dr. right to refuse service, but at least I deserve a logical and ethical explanation... That I did not receive. My opinion I would avoid this Dr. and make a choice to see someone else with more professionalism and empathy... Christina M. Sheely, DO read more

Dr. Sheely is the absolute best! I have been in the surgical field for a very long time and I have been exposed to the best of the best and the worst of the worst. I have personally had surgeries at the best ranked orthopedic institutes in America. Dr. Sheely is my absolute favorite orthopedic surgeon and quite possibly my favorite doctor of all time. She is sharp as a whip, up to date on the most current surgical techniques, always puts the patient first, and is super compassionate. She has an awesome bedside manner and can kick booty in the OR too. I do not live anywhere near Kyle and I pass many highly touted ortho surgeons on my path to see Dr. Sheely. But I will always go to see her because I know too much and my standards are far too high to see a lot of the "best" orthopedic surgeons in Austin. Dr. Sheely has gotten extremely popular over the years and it is harder to get in to see her these days. If you just want someone to see you right away, there are a lot of lower quality orthos who can probably fit you in the same day - just call around. But if you want to be operated on by a highly skilled surgeon, Dr. Sheely is worth the wait. read more

Dr. Sheely is one of my favorite doctor's. I have always received excellent service and the 2 surgeries she has performed have been fantastic. Her bedside manner is the best. She is very personable and treats her patients like friends. I have always been impressed with her level of knowledge. She is always learning about new techniques. Her staff has proven to be competent and I have never had any problems. I highly recommend Dr. Sheely, if you want a doctor you can trust along with excellent service. read more

Sadly, the front office and the procedure to get in to see the doctor makes being her patient a horrible experience.

Dr Sheely and her staff are wonderful. They don't rush you and you get the time to ask questions that you need. They are caring , knowledgeable, and truly interested. Thank you all. read more

I was rushed to ER yesterday due to a very bad fall which took my right leg out. I could not get off the floor so we call EMS. After 5 hours in ER I was discharged with instructions to call an Orthopedist due to the damage to my knee and leg. I called Dr Christina Sheely's office in Kyle to get the appointment. The first call I made for the appointment lasted 18:23 minutes on hold before I hung up. The second call I made I was on the phone, on hold, for 23:56. I talked to 4 people having to repeat my info and explaining I had been in ER and needed to be seen ASAP. I finally used another phone in the house, while I was on hold, asking for the manager who was not there. When I finally got someone that was going to help me make the appointment informed me the doctor could not see me for 8 days! I was also told that since I did not go to the Kyle ER, I was in Austin when I fell; they told me it would be better for me to go to Austin to see a doctor. When I called the Austin Orthopedist they set me up for the next day. It is really a shame that this seems to be the normal for the doctors in Kyle. I am glad now I did not get the appointment because if she runs this type of practice then she is probably not a caring doctor read more

Dr. Sheely and her staff have cared for my wife and me for 6 years. My wife has had a knee repaired and receives biannual shots in both knees. I have had a knee repaired and, most recently, a shoulder repaired. Dr. Sheely's preoperative analysis/care, surgical skill and postoperative care are all superb. Her staff provides excellent professional care and is always responsive to questions and requests. Their interface with rehabilitation specialists is outstanding. I highly recommend Dr. Sheely, her staff and associates at Seton Orthopedics and Sports Medicine in Kyle, TX. read more
