“I have been seeing Dr. Shaurya irregularly for the last few years. He has been an excellent surgeon for a cyst I had and will be taking care of another one for me. He's very knowledgeable, and with me, very straightforward, which I appreciate. And it is always reassuring to get skin advice from someone who has great skin, himself.”
Jack H.February 26, 2026
“I arrived early and was even seen a little early. The Doctor was friendly, warm, clear communicator.”
