I just wish he was open on Fridays but you know what, he's so good. I'll make whatever day he is available work.
September 26, 2016Shannon H.Verified patient
I was seen at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Mayo kept me at the clinic for a week, they ran MRIs, CT Scans, X-rays, Blood tests. Dr. Sham saw me for 5 minutes: no x-rays, CT scans, or MRIs- looked at me.He decided Mayo Clinic and the University of MN Hospitals were wrong in my diagnosis that I have been treated for the last 30 years with 8 prior Rheumatologists. Over this time, I have had every side effect known to my autoimmune disease.
