She was kind, considerate, listened, assessed & came up w a plan w me. Extremely knowledgeable in her field, in my opinion. While I don’t live near NYC, I was able to see her quickly via virtual visit & would consider driving the 300 miles to see her in person, if I ever needed to. In addition, her office staff was kind, helpful & patient. Excellent communication from the office staff from the time the appointment was scheduled up to the appointment time.

I saw Dr. Shabas for a telemed visit and it was as if I was right in her medical office. She was right on time and quite friendly, but professional. She spent considerable time getting to know my lengthly medical history, including the current medicines that I take. Dr. Shabas also wanted to consult with one of my other doctors before administering treatment, which also shows her professionalism. Lastly, she was right on time for our virtual visit, which was lovely. Overall, my experience with Dr. Shabas was excellent, I highly recommend her as a provider, and I look forward to our next appointment.

This was my first meeting with Dr. Shabas, and we had a really nice telemedicine visit. I wasn’t sure how that would work, but I did my walking/coordination demonstrations, etc. quite easily via the webcam. She listened to my symptoms and came up with solid next steps. Great so far!
