Dr. Shine John

Originally from New York, Dr. Shine John relocated to the Austin area to join Foot Specialists of Cedar Park & Georgetown.

Prior to his relocation, Dr. John completed a one-year Reconstructive Foot and Ankle Surgery and Research Fellowship with the internationally recognized Weil Foot and Ankle Institute in Chicago, IL. The Reconstructive Foot and Ankle Surgical Fellowship, under the direction of Dr. Lowell Weil Jr. and Dr. Lowell Scott Weil Sr. offered exposure to many state of the art and innovative procedures for treatment of simple to complex foot and ankle pathologies. His training included extensive education and utilization of Extracorporeal Shockwave therapy (ESWT) and radiofrequency techniques. His fellowship directors are the team podiatrists for one of the professional Chicago baseball teams and are consultants for other professional Chicago sports teams, which enhanced his skills in sports medicine. In addition to the advanced surgical training, clinical research skills were stressed during the Fellowship year.

Prior to the Fellowship, he completed the prestigious 3-year Foot and Ankle Surgical Residency training at the Western Pennsylvania Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. The Foot and Ankle Surgical Residency led by Dr. Robert W. Mendicino and Dr. Alan R. Catanzariti has produced many outstanding Foot and Ankle Surgeons over the last several years. His residency experience helped him develop skills in advanced foot and ankle arthrodesis, deformity correction, flatfoot reconstruction, foot and ankle arthroscopy, tendon repair, and ligament reconstruction.
Dr. John received his Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine Degree from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine (NYCPM). In addition to graduating in the top percentile of his class and receiving several scholarships/awards throughout his four years at NYCPM, he was very active in the admissions department and held several leadership positions. Prior to attending NYCPM, Dr. John received his Bachelors Degree in Life Sciences at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT).
Dr. John approaches all those he comes across with humility and humor. He believes strongly in effective communication and feels it is an integral component in establishing trust with a patient. He is genuinely interested in his patients’ conditions and offers effective treatment plans combined with informative explanations, in terms his patients can understand.
Aside from staying abreast with advances in foot and ankle surgery, Dr. John enjoys spending time strengthening his Christian faith through music and reading, performing service through church activities, physical fitness, cooking and enjoying time with his loved ones.

He is excited about joining the successful team at the Foot Specialists of Cedar Park & Georgetown. He plans to use his clinical, surgical and research skills to provide the greatest care for existing and new patients in the practice.
