Dr. Shammas is a thorough and caring practitioner.  I had taken my daughter to countless doctors trying to find an answer to her pain. Dr. Shammas was able to ask questions, family history, and run tests to finally give us an answer and begin to help alleviate her pain. I would highly recommend her and feel so lucky to have found her.
