Patient Reviews
Oct 18, 2024
Dr. Shammas is truly a rarity. Kind, thoughtful, knowledgeable. She doesn't rush you out of her office or give assembly line care like most. She truly cares about me as a patient & wanted to help treat my RA to allow me the best quality of life possible. She took her time with me and always answered all my questions in a timely fashion. She also got me into appointments when I had a flare, which was rare in her care. One of a kind doctor! Grateful for her talents & generosity over the years. Can't recommend highly enough.
