Meet Dr. Shane Rainey, Pediatrician at Restore + Revive
We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Shane Rainey, DO, to the Restore + Revive family! Dr. Rainey will begin seeing patients on April 6th, bringing over a decade of experience in pediatric care to our Restore + Revive Functional Medicine Team.
Extensive Experience in Pediatric Care
Dr. Rainey is a double board-certified pediatrician with more than 10 years of clinical experience, including seven years as a pediatric hospitalist. He has also served as Division Chief of Pediatric Hospital Medicine at Banner Children’s at Desert Medical Center, and has held teaching roles at both the University of Arizona College of Medicine and the University of Illinois College of Medicine.
His background as a hospitalist has given him an appreciation for conventional medical care when treating and helping children recover from acute illnesses, while recognizing that health maintenance and healing extends beyond medicine alone. Dr. Rainey integrates osteopathic principles and a holistic, root-cause approach with personalized care to optimize and individualize health for every patient.
Philosophy and Approach
When asked, Dr. Rainey’s approach to patient care is simple yet powerful:
“First, do no harm. Listen more than I talk. Treat every patient as if they were family. Care for the whole patient, body, mind, and soul. Always tell the truth as I understand it, and spend quality time with patients and families to discover their values and perspectives.”
He is currently enrolled in the multi-year Integrative Medicine Fellowship at the internationally renowned Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, further enhancing his ability to provide evidence based, root cause, integrative care.

A Little About Dr. Rainey
Pronounced like the weather, Dr. Rainey’s appreciation for a good pun nearly led him to become a meteorologist, although he could not escape his true calling in medicine. When he’s not caring for patients, Dr. Rainey is a devoted husband and father of four energetic kids. He and his family are devout Catholics and attend St. Benedict Catholic Parish in Fort Worth. Outside the clinic, he enjoys officiating basketball and is a respected referee (as far as doctors go), having officiated NCAA Division III, junior college, and multiple high school state championships. He is a decent woodworker (as far as referees go), finding satisfaction in building furniture and other things the girls can read on and the boys can climb on and jump off of. He and his family also enjoy homeschooling, camping, spending time in the kitchen, pilgrimages to monasteries, and making the most of their time together whenever they can.
Why Dr. Rainey Chose Restore + Revive
