DR JOHN SCHILLING

Dr. Schilling is friendly, practical and very experienced. Rather than declaring what a patient should do, he clearly outlines the available options and advantages and disadvantages of each. He is efficient with his time, but without a patient feeling rushed. His front office staff is also friendly and efficient.

Dr. Schilling has a really comfortable demeanor and seems well versed in his profession. He’s done two hand procedures for me and I would definitely recommend him. Also, my recent appointment was at 3:30pm—the nurse practitioner brought me in at 3:31pm, did a thorough Q&A about my situation, and I was in front of Dr. Schilling by 3:45pm. We discussed my options and agreed on a cortisone shot which he did on the spot and I departed the office by 4pm.

Dr. Schilling is always professional and willing to address my medical issues with various options. Thank you!

When arthritis caused nerve pain in two finger joints that approached the level of being trapped in a door hinge, I was referred to Dr. Schilling. He would be embarrassed, but it's a fact that Dr. Schilling is considered among many in the Walnut Creek medical community -- not just the MDs but also the regular staff who know what is really going on -- to be a "rock star" hand surgeon. I needed someone with this level of skill, because the top half of my index and little fingers needed to be severed, the joints removed, and the halves reattached. In two separate 90-minute procedures under full anesthetic, Dr. Schilling did the above, restoring my fingers by linking many tiny elements while working in an impossibly small space. A month after my second fusion, I have my life back. The searing pain that sapped my energy is gone. My fused fingers remain sensitive to touch and are functional. With medical issues there are no guarantees. But there are some absolutes. As in, when faced with a crisis, you want a rock star on your team. Whatever ails you, I wish you a speedy recovery.

Dr Schilling is a very knowledgeable, understanding and caring physician. I would not hesitate to recommend him when it comes for orthopedic needs.

I had an initial exam w Dr Schilling. I found him attentive and personable. He listened to me. I have scheduled follow ups w him and am looking forward to his opinions. I like him and would recommend him.

Dr John P. Schilling is a great doctor. I had a trigger finger surgery and he was very professional . The surgery was quick and successful. I am almost 2 weeks after the procedure and I am so happy that the pain is gone and I have a full movement of my finger and is healing nicely. Thank You Dr Schilling!!!

My surgery was successful and I regained my right hand function. I am very happy patient. J. Barta

Dr. Schilling is exceptionally knowledgeable. He also has a friendly “bedside manner” and carefully listens to his parents’ concerns.

I see Dr Schilling. I have gotten to carpal tunnel surgeries from him and also a couple of trigger finger surgeries which have both worked out extremely well for me. Dr Schilling is very kind and excellent at what he does.

Excellent doctor and extremely informative

Dr. Schilling performed a carpal tunnel release on my left hand. I could not be happier with the result. The pain i was experiencing has completely resolved. I highly recommend Dr. Schilling.

Dr. Schilling is professional and efficient as well as a pleasure to deal with.

He knows what’s best for me, efficient, good listener, very approachable.

I have been receiving treatment and care for my elbow and wrist from Dr. Schilling for the past year and I have to say I have had top notch care from my surgery to my physical therapy and recheck appointments.

Very open and patient in finding a solution to my issue. Gives options for different treatments and explained everything very clearly. Definitely would recommend Dr. Schilling.

Dr Shilling has an excellent bedside manor. He is honest,approachable, and a very skilled surgeon. My carpal tunnel has definitely improved as a result of his care.

Very detailed and thorough, makes patient extremely comfortable, communication was fantastic, detailed and upfront.

It was so professional co worker and Doctor was very helpful and very kind

Dr. Schilling is an amazing and kind doctor with years of experience. I saw him for my thumb that I injured with blender. Dr. Schilling is the best doctor for many reasons. He takes his time and making sure his patients understand what needs to be done. He is never in rush and answer all your questions. I am so thankful for having him for my thumb injury and I believe he is the reason for saving my thumb. 🙏🙏

Found Dr. John P. Schilling on Google and so happy I did. He is kind and straight forward when explaining what’s going on in terms I could understand. I went to him for arthritis is my hands and will now be going to him for my shoulders. I completely trust him to know how to help me and he presents at least three options to move forward. I feel I’m in very good hands.

Dr. Schilling has excellently treated my osteoarthritis and tendinitis in my hands for several years.

Excellent physician and surgeon. Very knowledgeable and friendly

Great medical care, I felt like family was taking care of me. I totally trust txt. Shilling.

Dr.Schilling is such a great and knowledgeable doctor, he's been super helpful and motivating with my thumb injury. You'll be in great hands with Dr.schilling.

Dr Schilling is excellent. First, he listens to what you have to say, takes quality time & most important, trusts what you say about your body. He’s very responsive & cares about reducing or eliminating your pain. My only small complaint is the wait time in the exam room is much longer in Brentwood than in WC location

Dr. Schilling seems to genuinely care about what he does to help his patients. My experience was that his bedside manner was very patient and kind, answered my questions and explained what was going on with my hand. Very common to experience tendinitis and a simple injection has greatly improved the pain in my thumb. It is rare to find this type of doctor in today’s medical profession. Thank you ever so much Dr. Schilling!!!

It was great experience, Dr John and staff was awesome

I had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands. Both were successful and pain free. Dr Schillng is caring and an excellent physician.

I saw Dr Shilling recently for a hand problem he was very thorough in explaining what was happening and offered a couple of suggestions on how to go forward. He and his team were quite helpful and informative. I would recommend Dr Shilling to anyone.

Dr. Schilling is the best! He takes his time to explain things, especially the treatment plan before & after surgery. He is very nice and truly cares about you! I highly recommend him!

What a caring and concern Doctor. Recommended by a friend and definitely the right choice!

Dr. Schilling is one of those rare physicians who cares as much about your emotional experience as the medical procedure you go through. In my case, while expertly administering cortisone shots in each of my arthritic thumbs, Dr. Schilling kept up a soothing conversation to distract me and thereby keep me from tensing up and complicating the injections. There was minimal discomfort as a result. Being somewhat needle phobic, I was very grateful for this approach. I would highly recommend Dr. Schilling as a caring and extremely professional orthopedic doctor.

Outstanding service. Very happy patient.

Great doctor. He explains things very clearly and provides solutions for the health issues

Dr Schilling is an awesome listener. I’m a new patient. He treats me like I’ve been seeing him for years. I’ve had right shoulder pain for decades. I’ve been treated with steroid injections, physical therapy, acupuncture and heat therapy. They kept my pain at bay for all these years. Ultimately as the Dr’s predicted the pain has returned. Nothing is helping. I had my X-ray with Dr Schilling and now an MRI. To be continued on my follow up visit. I’m very happy and pleased with Dr Schilling. So far so good👍🏾

Dr. Schilling did a very good job of diagnosing my condition and advising me on next steps I might take and when to consider taking them.

Dr Schilling is an excellent Dr. he took as much time as was needed with me - explained everything- came up with a plan for me going forward. I cannot recommend him enough.

Dr schilling is Very polite ,best judgement and right diagnosis, gave me the right treatment.

Dr Schilling is a gentleman soft spoken and knowledgeable explain your problems in the easiest way to understand

Google only allows 5 star. Dr. Schilling certainly deserves a lot more. Very cordial, caring and attentive. A true expert in in his field.

Doctor Schilling understood exactly what my problem was, gave me treatment options, and solved the issue - I left feeling like he would remember me in six months or a year, if I had another issue with my hand

He is wonderful. He is dedicated and very concerned about my issue.

Right thumb was given an injection from Dr. Schilling and it’s taken almost a week, but it’s starting to work. I highly recommend him. He’s helped me on other occasions also👍

This is a first class experience.

Excellent doctor, great bedside manner, very competent

Good service

Dr Schilling is an excellent surgeon, as well as a compassionate human being. He is attentive, listens to his patient carefully, and then recommends the best course of action, making sure everyone is on the same page and the patient understands. He never makes you feel rushed. One of the most important ways to choose the finest doctor is to ask that doctor’s staff about him/her. I did this with at least three – nurses, anesthesiologist, tech, etc., and they all sincerely gave Dr. Schilling very high praise for being one of the finest doctors they’ve ever worked with, as well as one of the kindest men they had known.

Extremely nice and truly helpful treatment. Based on my great experience, I would recommend him to be an excellent orthopedist

Dr Schilling has always been helpful and careful concerning about my care. I'm thinking of having some hand surgery I happy he will be doing the surgery

I appreciate all that Dr.Shilling has done for me so that I may continue to use my hands as much as I can.

Dr shilling was so knowledgeable and caring and took care of my problems right away I’ll definitely recommend him . Great experience 🙏

Dr. Schilling has a friendly office manner. I was very happy to see he didn't recommend surgery for the swollen gland on my finger. His recommended non-invasive treatment worked great and my finger is almost back to normal.

Great doctor

He's so good I'm going back for more! Seriously, i had De Quervain's tendinosis in my right wrist that was so painful it would wake me up at night. Other doctors gave me steroid injections and they helped for a time but it came back. 5 minutes with Dr. Schilling and he was able to explain that steroids we'ren't helping and surgery was my best option. It's been 6 months and i'm pain free in my right wrist. My left wrist is acting up and I would trust no one else with my care. Here I go again!

I visited Dr Schilling on 6/14 to discuss some serious pain I was having with my right wrist that had previous surgery 14 years ago. Dr. Shilling listened to me, told me my step by step options, and gave me a steroidal injection right in the center spot on my wrist he thought would give me the most relief. He hit it dead on. I felt almost 90% relief by the next day. Dr Schilling is a specialist, and I cannot give him a higher rating than 5 stars here but he deserves more. I have full confidence in him if we need to progress further, and I would recommend him to anybody. Joseph P Dedmon

Dr. Schilling is very professional, thorough and conscientious provider. I have had regular injections for both thumbs due to arthritic pain. It has helped me to continue my usual activities which I am very grateful for. Doctor Schilling is very knowledgeable and patient and always offers options for treatment to me each time I meet with him. I would highly recommend Dr. Schilling for your orthopedic needs. He is a fantastic provider!

Dr Shilling is a great doctor. He is friendly, kind and compassionate.

Dr. John P. Schilling has been treating me for severe arthritis in my hands and wrists for a number of years. He is very professional, listens patiently to my symptoms, discusses possible treatments with me in detail, and has never pushed me to surgery, preferring conservative treatments. When my right hand became virtually useless due to severe arthritis in a bone in my wrist and injections were only helping for a couple months, I asked him to perform right wrist reconstruction surgery, which he did on July 14, 2023. It had gotten so bad, I couldn't even button my shirts. Now I can not only button my shirts, I can repair things around my house, work in my yard, hold my Canon EOS 5D Mark III to do photography, and most anything else I want to do. Dr. Schilling is an excellent doctor and surgeon for anything from the shoulder to the fingers. I trust him.

Dr Schilling is Awesome! I’ve had 3 surgeries with him. Both wrists and elbow. Results are great. Very knowledgeable & compassionate.

Dr Schilling is the ultimate orthopedic specialist. He is gentle, professional, extremely knowledgeable and in my personal experience an excellent surgeon who follows up meticulously! I have had bilateral carpal tunnel surgeries and multiple injections which by the way he performs with minimal discomfort!

Dr Schilling was very thorough in my examination, and explained all of my treatment options thoroughly. I was very pleased with my appointment and treatment by Dr Schilling, and recommend him highly.

I've had surgery before by Dr Schilling. My wrist. Turned out well. Again seeking his help but this type of shoulder surgery he doesn't do anymore. He did advise me on what to expect. I appreciate all that he has done. And I would refer whomever seeking his type of medical advice to him. Thanks for everything. Patricia Daniels

Dr Schilling and his office staff are very courteous and professional

Had an appointment with my orthopedic MD Dr Schilling. He is a very caring and competent MD. He won’t just try and do surgery. He will give you options on how to treat your symptoms. I like his bedside manner and respect his opinions.

Dr Schilling is an excellent physician who has a very caring demeanor in addressing your reason for seeing him because of a medical discomfort. I saw him twice for the occurrence of a trigger finger on one hand and then on my other hand 6 weeks later. He was very patient and thorough in explaining my options. Fortunately an injection of cortisone cured my trigger finger condition in both hands. I will highly recommend Dr Schilling to friends and acquaintances. Thank-you,, Dr Schilling.

As an RN myself, I appreciate his attention to safety protocols. I feel very fortunate to be in his care!

It was a reassuring experience that I am in good hands and glad I had my finger surgery with Dr. Schilling and his caring team.

I have been a patient of Dr. Schilling for 4 years regarding a carpal tunnel issue. His expertise in diagnosing and providing treatment options were exceptional. Dr. Schilling's professional demeanor and bedside manner from our first meeting through surgery and follow-up could not have been more reassuring. He represents the finest in medical care for hand and arm related conditions. He is the "go to" Doc.

Dr John Schilling is a terrific doctor & I am very pleased with his surgery on my hand for Carpal Tunnel. He is very kind & caring & takes time to address any concerns I have. I highly recommend him & his staff as well. Susanne McClain

Very professional, helped me very much, looking forward to my next visit

My medical issue had gone on for several months, I was hoping that the issue would go away naturally, several months later, that was not the case. Dr. Schilling spent the time going over the cause of the issue and the options. Today, 2 weeks later my condition is so much better. This doctor knows how to diagnose problems and provides multiple options. Thank you, Dr. Schilling.

Dr. Schilling is the kindest doctor I’ve ever known. He has been my hand surgeon for nearly eight years. He worked with me for a few years until I decided I needed my surgery (he never pushed me to have the procedure); his pre- and postoperative care was superb; and my recovery, while lengthy, was complete. Since I’ve returned for care of another hand issue, Dr. Schilling has proven yet again that he is a skilled and dedicated physician and a compassionate human being. I recommend him without reserve.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Schilling’s for over ten years and he’s always treated me with care and listened to my concerns and addressed those concerns with patience and options.

I’ve had just one appointment with Dr. Schilling, and he has already earned my trust. He listened and communicated very effectively, answering my questions and observations professionally and kindly. Knowing what is coming for my hand, I am grateful to already have such a degree of confidence in my surgeon.

Dr. Schilling has been my hand specialist for 2 delicate surgeries and the results are wonderful. He is down to earth, easy to talk to and listens carefully. Superb surgeon.

Have had 2 thumb joint Surgeries by Dr. Schilling. Both times have had excellent results. Dr. Schilling is so kind and caring. I’ve felt completely safe and confident under his care.

I’ve been Dr. schilling’s patient for almost 4 years. He is very knowledgeable, great listener and caring. His staff are very professional and friendly.

Outstanding discussion about my problem, which is arthritis in my right wrist, and the degree of pain when playing tennis. After X-rays and study by him, he suggested a cortisone/novocain injection, and I agreed. It has been great and I’m very happy about it, but the way he handled it and the discussion we had was the best.

I would just like to say Dr. Schilling is awesome, he is patient, caring and extremely knowledgeable, he has helped me with my elbow pain and recently I had surgery on my shoulder which turned out wonderful, I'm so happy to be pain free! I would recommend him to anyone.

I desperately needed Dr.Schilling’s help with my trigger fingers so that I can get back on the ball field. On Monday, I’m playing my first game in over a year. Success. Thanks to Dr. Schilling. He gets me.

Dr. Schilling was not only professional and knowledgeable, but engaged with me concerning the diagnosis, the process, the surgery, and the recovery. At every appointment he took the time to make sure all my questions and concerns were answered. I feel very fortunate to have had him as my surgeon and am very pleased to be able to recommend him with no equivocation.

Dr Schilling is very warm hearted, professional, and patient! He is beyond a medical care provider. I will highly recommend him for orthopedic treatment.

Dr. Schilling came highly recommended for the diagnosis and treatment of my Dupuytren’s Contracture. He explained throughly and in detail all that was involved in my surgery to correct the issue I was having with my hand. Surgery went well and my hand is healing great. Started physical therapy thru his office and am improving daily. I couldn’t be more thankful to Dr. Schilling and his staff. Everyone including the Surgical staff and Physical therapy staff treated me very professionally and took a genuine interest in my wellness before and after my procedure. Thank you for all that you do, Stan Redding

Dr. Schilling is great. Approachable as well as offering options other than surgery. Highly recommend.

I’ve been Dr. Shillings patient for 6 years. I’ve always felt I was well informed. Dr. Shillings care and advice can not be beat.

From the appointment clerks, front desk, MA, x-Ray tech, cast room and especially Dr Schilling always receive the best service. Dr Schilling is the absolute best. I’ve been going to him for probably 5+ years for different arthritis hand related issues, and I love his approach, always discusses the options and lets you decide which option seems best for you. I recently had joint fusion surgery, I was so apprehensive and I couldn’t have asked for a smoother, easier surgery and recovery time. If I could give Dr Schillung more stars I would!!!

He’s a nice guy, understood my pain and took care of me.

Dr Schilling is great, very thorough answered all my concerns and I have a follow-up appointment in July.

I've gone to Dr. Schilling for over 11 years! He's the best. He's quick and he knows what he's talking about when it comes to my upper limbs. It's important to me to be able to trust my doctor. Especially when it comes to shots and surgeries.

Excellent diagnosis of my "skiers thumb" and his not just jumping to surgery. Getting better... Easy to talk with.

Great care

Dr. John Schilling has been treating my injuries and pain in both of my shoulders, both thumbs and has done surgery on my wrist for relieving pain from carpal tunnel. All of my experiences have been very good. He either could tend to the problem or referred me to another qualified doctor. He is calm, reassuring, and gives options to consider. Lovely personality.

The doctor was smart and easy to work with. I told him my issues or problems I was having. He came up with a plan. I agreed and feel great. Amazing

Good experience, Dr Schilling is very professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. I also appreciate his thoughtfulness and easy-going personality. I always feel comfortable talking to him.

Grear surgeon. I would recommend to anybody. He cares, he walks you through the process, follows through, and most importantly does a great job.

Just one word… Amazing!!

I got really quality care from Dr Schilling. He patiently explained all of my options and the benefits of each. I also liked that he was humble enough to seek a second opinion from his colleagues just to put me at ease.

Kind, efficient, thorough, knowledgeable and friendly.

Dr. Shilling is extremely knowledgeable and explains everything he is doing and what he expects for you.

Attentive, experts, kind, supportive. Thank you!

One of the less pleasant aspects of age (I'm 71) is a general stiffening of the joints -- usually due to osteoarthritis. A big word, but in reality if you're going to have arthritis, choose this one over rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis is joint pain caused by the wearing down over time of the cartilage that lubricates bones wherever they meet. For many, this is most evident in the hands. Over the course of a year, my ring finger's middle joint began complaining whenever I clenched my hand or typed too fast. My family doctor referred me to Dr. Schilling. Dr. Shilling checked my x-ray and confirmed that indeed I was experiencing osteoarthritis. He injected a steroid into my affected joint (less painful than it sounds) and after a few days the pain vanished and I was no longer experiencing pain while typing or riding my bike or other important stuff retirees do. As it goes with steroids, after a few months the pain gradually returned. And it had company. My right hand’s thumb joint began to ache as I carried out mundane activities. So I revisited Dr. Schilling and got both pain points dealt with, once again by steroid injection. Seeing Dr. Schilling is always a pleasure, not only because his accuracy at placing the steroid is dead-on, but also because he goes out of his way to be friendly and personable. I don’t feel like a number as I do in some other doctors’ offices. I will always be grateful to Dr. Schilling for helping me adjust to getting older, with the assurance that modern medicine, delivered the old-fashioned way, is helping to ease my transition into the "golden years."

Excellent physician!!! Treated both my mom and me. Took time with both of us and my hand problem is now resolved. As a nurse, I highly recommend him and won't hesitate to visit again if my hand problem recurs.

Dr. Schilling makes you believe in doctors and the medical system again! Not only is he an outstanding surgeon, he exudes genuine caring and professionalism. After a bad broken wrist and dislocated elbow from a dog attack, and a crazy trip to the ER,  as soon as I met Dr. Schilling my worries  disappeared. I felt confident in the process, and felt absolutely safe and positive about the surgery. I'm still recovering, but I've done really well thanks to Dr. Schilling. His office staff is also great and responsive, and the physical therapist he referred me to was also fantastic. I looked forward to every appointment with both the physical therapist (Yvonne in Pleasant Hill) and Dr. Schilling, and they motivated me to work hard without saying a lot, but just by being super competent,  positive people. He's a really busy,  hard -working doctor, and our community is lucky to have him.

Dr. Schilling sets the standard for professionalism.  Thorough exam, understandable explanations, discussion of treatment options, accessibility.  Wish all medical doctors were the same.

I am an administrator in a hospital, so I meet many physicians and providers. With that said, I have to say that Dr. Schilling is one of the kindest and most compassionate provider I have ever met. My husband had a terrible experience with a previous John Muir orthopedic surgeon. After six months of chronic pain, we sought a recommendation from a physical therapist. The PT referred us to Dr. Schilling and we are so grateful and blessed that we have met him. After months of uncertainty and fear, we were finally able to take a moment and feel some sense of relief.  Upon meeting Dr. Schilling, he immediately walked my husband through the entire process. He made sure we were equipped with the right information and not once made us feel like he was in a rush. We were his priority. After surgery, Dr. Schilling checked in on my husband frequently. He made himself accessible and available, even for last minute appointments to help my husband through post-surgery pain. This was my husband's first time living through major surgery, and I am so thankful Dr. Schilling was by our side, walking us through every step of the way. Thank you, Dr. Schilling! You have our utmost gratitude.

I am sitting at a nice restaurant and I looked down at my wrist. 1 year and 3 months ago I had surgery on my left inner wrist. Well...i noticed u can hardly see the stitch marks and scar from the operation that was performed by Dr. John Schilling..muir orthopedics. From my 1st consultation with him to post operation exams...he was the BEST. COMPASSION, sincere CARING, and stellar knowledge in his treating me was simply THE BEST. IF you ever need a Doctor in this field...you won't find a better surgeon then Dr. JOHN SHILLING.

Dr. Schilling is very skilled, and just as important, he is genuinely caring about his patients and consistent with the ideals of a physician, that is, to treat and make a meaningful impact on the lives of patients.  In today's busy practice setting, laden with insurance processes and other administrative items, it's easy to get distracted and lose sight of the reasons why you chose this profession, but I can tell Dr. Schilling takes a lot of pride in his work as a surgeon and really wants to help others.  I speak as a fellow health care professional coming from a family with plenty of HCP's.  He's a good guy.

I took my 14 year old to see Dr Schilling after injuring his hand. I am a nurse and am very particular about the doctors my family sees. I was very impressed with Dr Schilling and his office. The office is newer and very clean. Registration was prompt and I was seen at exactly my scheduled time. Dr Schilling is a hand specialist and was very knowledgeable, thorough, cautious, and has excellent bedside manner. His staff did a great job applying the cast on my son. They were friendly and funny keeping my son at ease. We really lucked out coming to this office and I highly recommend him.

Dr. Schilling is not only knowledgeable and very professional, he is a very genuine doctor. He makes you feel very comfortable and is great at what he does! He operated on my hand a few weeks ago and everything went perfect. Thank you Dr. Schilling!

Wonderful, Dr. Schilling is an awesome physician. He took care of my medical needs.

Doctor schilling is one of the best Hand surgeon I have met. He is very nice man that tells you how the surgery is going to be done. I would have my friends and family go to him. Thank you so much for doing my hand

Just over a year ago, I fell and broke a bone in my wrist...I made an appt. with Dr. Schilling upon the advice of my regular doctor. Dr. Schilling was on time, answered all my questions! Did the surgery to restore my wrist...great doctor!

My 90 year old father fell and fractured his elbow.  Dr. Schilling performed surgery and did a remarkable job piecing together all the bone fragments.  My father was virtually pain free within a few days after the surgery and the bones have healed quite nicely.  Dr. Schilling has an excellent bedside manner, takes his time, explains everything and listens.  I highly recommend him.
