Dr. Shubinets is such a kind and compassionate doctor. He makes sure that I’m doing okay and calls me a day or two after the surgery to check on how I feel and to answer any questions.

I developed a severe infection in my left hand that traveled up my arm. I was transported to Union Memorial Hospital and had the privilege of getting Dr. Shubinets. He saved my arm and hand! He has such a gentle and caring bedside manner and did an exceptional job at re-sculpting my hand. Thank you so much for all the hard work you did at saving my life, arm and hand.

He is an excellent medical professional and surgeon. I appreciate his accomplishment on my thumb. He doesn’t have a warm bedside manner or a comforting posture regarding the trauma that surgery actually presents to a patient. He’s simply one and done. The human element is absent. I’d say surgery is absolutely a CARING profession !!!! It took 10 years of grueling study and dedication to get where he is.
If the goal is to do good…THE GOOD IS IN THE CARING.

Can't say enough kind things about him. I thought the only solution to my finger was amputation, he saved my finger and made it look normal. He is just wonderful.
