Patient Reviews
Feb 11, 2021
I was a patient of Dr. Shay when I lived and worked in Florence Ky. She was an Excellent Doctor. She was very kind and patient with me. She listened to whatever I had to say, gave me excellent care and advice, all the time. Once, when I was having surgery at St. Elizabeth , by another doctor. She was doing her daily rounds, she saw that I was admitted. She went out of her way and came to check on me. She asked if could do anything for me and did I needed anything. She told me to call if I did. That made me feel so special. I will never forget her. I wish that she was still my doctor. God Bless her.
