Cannot really make a good rating until after get the MRI, and then options / discussions with Dr. Shanti.
A highly professional MD, with vast knowledge and the human touch.
All around good doctor
He was attentive, informative, and empathetic.
Dr. Shanti listened to me with consideration, and answered all my questions. He provided solid guidance, clear explanations of my injury and my treatment options. I am very pleased to have a functional treatment plan, with my lifestyle taken into consideration. He informed me of things that my prior care team missed or omitted. He seems knowledgeable and kind, with excellent bedside manner. (Also, he has a fantastic sense of style.)
From the first word, I could tell Dr. Shanti cares about his patients. He listens well, and considers my thoughts and questions important. I haven’t had my surgery yet, but I am confident I’m in good hands.
I appreciated the great way he really listened to me. I know he’s willing to try whatever it takes to help me feel better!
