Dr. Shammas is thorough, listens to you carefully and with genuine sincerity. She spends a good amount of time with you and always includes you in her diagnosis and treatment plan explaining and answering questions as she goes. I like the fact that she studies all prior testing and patient history before formulating a diagnosis and treatment model. I was also happy to see that she physically examines you. Something many doctors have abandoned in recent years. I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Shammas handling my case. She truly deserves 5 stars in my opinion!
