Patient Reviews
Nov 08, 2023
Dr. Shonka is an excellent doctor. He takes the time to explain your condition, your options and the outcome for your options. I chose a thyroidectomy as my option and received excellent care. He is a wonderful surgeon and cares about his patients and takes his time with each patient including his surgeries. I had zero complications and almost no pain. His staff returns calls promptly and you can tell he loves what he chose to do in life. I highly recommend Dr. Shonka and his team for your medical needs.
