While Dr Shimkus practice has been going through massive growing pains there had been a good amount of frustrations with all us getting use to new systems etc. the dust is finally clearing and everything running much smoother. Throughout it all however, Dr Shimkus in my opinion has always been the most compassionate, knowledgeable and hands-on Oncologist I know. He is extremely approachable, listening to all of my concerns and even considering therapies i have researched. I think Cancer is the scariest diagnosis any of us can hear. Dr Shimkus and his amazing staff become family very quickly. We are all blessed to have them as our caregivers!

Dr. Shimkus and his team are outstanding. The office gets you in and out so long waiting periods. Doc is very knowledgeable providing great advice and recommendations. He’s the first healthcare provider that’s ever asked me at the end of the visit, “what else can I do for you today?” !! Great customer experience and feel blessed to be in his care!
