Patient Reviews
Feb 06, 2023
Dr. Shivshanker has been my doctor for 25 years, with great stretches of time when I didn't have problems. He's always fixed me. He is a very popular doctor (full waiting room, sometimes delays). On procedure day (upper GI) he will have 5-7 patients in queue. Personally, he's always been cordial and professionally he's batting 1000. Also, you call and they give you their first available appointment. It's not his fault that 300 people are ahead of you.
