Dr Shammo is one of the best Doctor's I have had in my 60+ years. Dr Shammo is incredibly talented and understanding. Dr Shammo is an old school professional who respects, listens, and understands the patient. Dr Shammo then explains her understanding and recommendations on her thoughts and decisions. Dr Shammo has been the only Doctor who explains why specific individual tests needed. She is also extremely kind and personable. I am so blessed to have Dr Shammo as a Doctor
