Dr. Shea is an amazing physician. He has been my doctor since 2012 and provide great care and insight leading up to my valve surgery and the after care. He always takes the time to listen and provides great detail. I never feel that he is in a rush.

This was my first visit with him. He had already gone over my records before he saw me so was aware of my past history with my last cardiologist. Everything was explained to me so I could clearly understand what was going on with my heart. He listened to all the concerns I have about how I have been feeling and things I have experienced of late. Some were not related to my heart and will need to be taken up with my primary care doctor. We set up a plan and I will see him in 3 months for follow-up. I left there feeling so much better because I finally had someone who really listened and put me at ease about my heart issues. He was very kind and professional and I feel good about putting my care in his hands.
