Steven is a nice doctor. I think they should upgrade their office furniture haha. They were able to check pressure without bothering me. Usually I flinch.

We were very pleased as this was my Dad’s first visit with Dr. Shaw. We were seen in a timely manner. Everyone from the Receptionist who checked us in to the techs that performed the various tests were very kind and understanding. My Dad has dementia so I alerted them ahead of time and they paid attention to what he needed.

My appointment was very satisfying. Everyone in the office was very nice and professional. Dr. Shaw's " bedside" manner is fantastic. I am very relieved that I actually made an excellent choice in choosing Dr. Shaw and his practice.

Dr. Shaw was professional and listened to my concerns. It took a while for me to check in, despite having filled out my paperwork via Zocdoc.

It was my first appointment with Dr. Shaw but will be returning in the future. He was very friendly with good bedside manner. I appreciated the fact that he discussed different options with me rather than just telling me what to do.
