Dr. Shannon was absolutely amazing. This is my first time to ever see a rheumatologist. He actually drew things on his whiteboard to make me understand the disease process. I have never felt so heard in all of my experience with doctors. I absolutely hate going to the doctor, because of that. Dr. Shannon Walked in the door, put me at ease, talk to me like I had a brain, explained my specific situation to me in detail. I left his office, feeling extremely hopeful and extremely grateful that was my doctor.

Dr Shannon is amazing. Not only was he helping me but he was training a resident at the same time.

And if I have any questions, no matter how dumb they sound, he answers them for me without making faces or, you know, acting silly. Anyhow, he's a great doctor. I recommend him to anybody who needs a gout doctor. And I actually followed him from his last practice over a year because I wouldn't let anyone else see me but Dr. Shannon. Thank you. Have a good day.
