Dr Shinn has been there for everything for me from me being pregnant with my son to 22 years later still taking care of me and making sure I keep on track with my health. I appreciate him more than he will ever know. Several years ago I thought something small was not important and he would not let it go and it turned into something huge that I needed a specialist care to treat!
