Dr. Shemtov is a very knowledgeable and kind physician. He took the time to thoroughly listen to my symptoms and then explain possible causes. His bedside manner is fantastic and he even gave me a follow up call over the weekend just to see how I was feeling! Dr. Shemtov did this despite the fact that my test results had not even come in yet. I can't recall visiting another doctor who was that caring. His office is very modern and clean and there was no wait time. I highly recommend using him.
