"She put me at ease right away, listened and laughed and joked. She let me know at the end that she felt i was ready for this procedure. If i ever have need of therapy regularly, she'll be the one i go to :)"
"During my consultation, I was nervous, but excited and not a little scared. But, Donna and Dr. Shina quickly eased me of those fears. Dr Shina is sharp, witty, straight to the point and very no-nonsense. He made me feel comfortable and confident in his skills and education.
When you Go for your initial consult with Dr Shina, Make sure you have the following :
A list of your medications that you've been taking, (including the dosage), your insurance card and booklet, and a list of questions you need answers to. I went ahead and got a copy of my medical records, but they apparently didnt need them.
The only thing i'm concerned about is "after care". I live in Henderson and Louisville is a good distance away. So i'm worried if something happens here, i might not be able to get in to see him quickly enough.
to the question posted off to the side of this nifty little box - "Which is better, surgical competence, beside manner, or both great?"
Well, I'd say both, but since we're not all that lucky, Surgical competance rules. I'd rather deal with a rather obnoxious doctor than a doctor that was messing with my insides without knowing what he was doing :)"
