Excellent Doctor with compassion and patience!
Dr. Shanti was a bit rushed at my first visit, but the follow up was excellent. He took the time to explain everything, in a clear and honest way. I feel very confident in his ability and knowledge.
Super fast with prognosis- didn’t seem to really care about in-depth issue of cause for problem.
Dr Shanti is super!
Very efficient and thorough
Dr. Shanti seems like a smart and thoughtful person who researched into my specific case. Seems like there are few options for me right now, and until I get relief I reserve a top rating for Dr. Shanti.
Very kind and responsive. Took time on a weekend to call me.
Dr Shanti is an outstanding surgeon and doctor. My pain was a 10 before I saw him, after surgery my pain is almost absent.
He is always sure to provide answers to all of my questions. He is very involved in helping me to understand my condition.
Dr Shanti was wonderful. He was very kind, compassionate, willing to listen and help me.
