I am always pleased with dr shammas and Annette I always feel that they care about what happens to me. While it is sad that healthcare has come to surveys to allow people who are sick express their opinion of their visit. It's sad that nothing is taken into consideration on the employees behalf it is strictly on what I say. Thankfully I'm honest and told the truth about dr shammas and Annette.
It was good.
My husband and I had been patients of Dr. Shammas, more than 10 years. We consider him, not only our Physician, but also our friend, and our counselor . And yes, we feel so well take care by him. He is always there for us.
