Patient Reviews
Dec 13, 2023
I was lucky to have Dr. Shaak as my surgeon after being admitted thru the ER. He was caring, thorough and patient. He never was rushed when answering questions and his great expertise eased my anxiety about the whole unexpected ordeal. He also went beyond the call of duty to help resolve some administrative issues. He's a Rock Star!
