Dr. George and his staff have been outstanding in assisting me. He conducted a thorough exam and answered all my questions. From the moment he walked in, I knew I had found my new primary care provider. He took the time to get to know me and address any concerns I had. After my lab work, he followed up with the results and provided a comprehensive game plan. I highly recommend visiting him for all your healthcare needs.
I am very impressed following my first appointment with Dr. Shawn George D.O.! He was knowledgeable, thorough, kind and took the necessary time to understand my issues and concerns. He said he would call me with my bloodwork results, and he did – with helpful recommendations. I would recommend Dr. Shawn George D.O. to any man or woman in search of compassionate and excellent medical care.
The service was great, the team was awesome and they explained to me in Spanish many things that I didn’t understand. The doctors were so kind and explained to me everything with detail. Thank you so much for making easy this part of my immigration process.
