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!
