In my mind, I consider Dr Shimkus my primary doctor -not only for his wealth of medical knowledge but also for saving my life! The guy is a genius and provides the best care plus, he gives better advice that I have ever received from any other physician I’ve seen in my 60+ years. So glad that I have him in my life!

I had no idea why my GP wanted Dr Shimkus to evaluate me, very glad she did, Dr Shimkus explained to me in layman's terms what was going on, what's possible, differences, he cuts to the chase, which is what I want in a Doctor, to be real, dows not sugar coat.
would highly recommend him
