Patient Reviews
Aug 15, 2024
I recently had a thyroidectomy performed by Dr. Shifrin. The entire experience went very well from initial consultation, biopsy and surgery and recovery. Dr. Shifrin is very straight forward and explained everything in easy to understand detail. I felt very confident when the nurses wheeled me into the OR knowing I was in excellent hands with Dr. Shifrin and Tara, his PA. Great staff at the office, surgical coordinator was outstanding in getting my surgery scheduled. Dr. Shifrin is very easy to talk to and makes you feel at ease. I'm two weeks post-op, just had my post-op follow-up and feel good!!! Amazing surgeon and a fabulous staff.
