I actually made my appointment with Dr. Shum on the recommendation of my husband who had also seen here. She is not rushed, takes time to answer questions. Just how a doctor should be.

I had my last appointment with Dr. Shum on 6/1 to get my "all clear" and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Shum has been kind, courteous and professional at every step of my treatment and recovery, and walked me through all my options before I decided that surgery, all though expensive and involved, was the best option for my wrist. I would definitely recommend Dr. Shum and Northwestern Medicine to friends and family in the future.
