Dr. Shabshab too the time to explain my condition in terms I could understand. It’s nice when an octogenarian is addressed as an intelligent person.
Explain everything to me so that I would understand
An excellent doctor who is very detailed and takes the time to talk to and listen to his patients. There is no doubt that he cares. He provides excellent patient care.
Dr. Shabshab prepared throughly for a new patient and coordinated well with my regular Inova doctors. He showed me lab result trends and CT images, helping me to understand my condition, what it means, and treatment options. While a drive to Clinton, MD, is long, I do not hesitate to continue to see such an excellent provider. Thank you.
He’s Great.
Very professional and understanding I really appreciate your support.
Great experience with Dr. Shashab. Je provides great knowledge and always try to provide natural alternatives before prescribing medications. He makes sure you understand all possibilities.
Dr. Shabshab is a very knowledgeable and caring doctor. He has kept my kidney disease in a dormant stage (it has not gotten any worse in the 8 years I've been a patient).
Very personable & caring!
He is an excellent kidney doctor. He takes the time to ensure you understand everything he is saying. He takes the time to understand your concerns.
