He was born on November 1, 1847 in Boston, Massachussets, United States, the son of George Cheyne Shattuck, 1813-1893, and Anne Henrietta (Brune) Shattuck.
He was a member of the first class to graduate from St. Paul's School. A few months at the Boston Latin School were followed by four years at Harvard College in the class of 1868. He was very popular as a student although not a first-rate scholar. In view of the family tradition, a career in medicine naturally appealed to him and he was graduated from the Harvard Medical School in 1873.
Work and research in hospitals in London, Paris, and Vienna occupied the next three years (1873-1876) until he settled in Boston to practise in 1875. After many years of indifferent practice, serving as an instructor in the Harvard Medical School and as a junior physician at the Massachusetts General Hospital, Shattuck was appointed James Jackson professor of clinical medicine in 1888. His private patients soon increased to a large number. Teaching at the Medical School or on the wards of the Hospital, pleasant hours spent in the Massachusetts Historical Society room, at social gatherings at his beautiful manor-house in Brookline or in one of his clubs, or the writing of papers on historical subjects, were all of more importance to him.
He retired from his professorship in 1912. From 1913 to 1919 he was an overseer of Harvard College and for many years a trustee of St. Paul's School. He served as president of the Association of American Physicians in 1898.
He died in 1929.

He became an original member of the Association of American Physicians in 1886.
In early life his youthful appearance and misunderstood levity kept him from rapid advancement, but later his sterling worth, his wit and his thorough knowledge of medicine gave him great popularity as a teacher from Maine to California.
On June 19, 1876, he was married to Elizabeth Perkins Lee, the daughter of Henry Lee, of Brookline, Massachussets. Of his four children, one son, George Cheever Shattuck, became a physician, the fifth in direct line to practise medicine in Boston.
