Dr Shaw has been the best doctor I've seen as an adult. He was very thorough and eager to help me with my questions about my health. I've found my permanent PcP

Dr. Shaw is a very detailed and conscientious medical professional. I have enjoyed having him as my primary care doctor. This visit was extremely important to me because it was a pre-surgery visit for knee replacement. So I had a lot of questions and he had a lot of answers. I was very impressed with how he researched the knee replacement process and was prepared to guide me in the direction I needed to go. Very, very pleased with the visit and very happy that he is my primary care physician. Thank you very much.

01/09/2024

Very friendly

01/02/2024

This provider is one of the most trustworthy and knowledgeable people in that department. When they are not available nobody else comes close.

12/26/2023

Dr Shaw gave me my result from lab and i started the medicine that was order in 2 day that was fast

12/12/2023

I really appreciate Dr. Vincent Shaw. He was very knowledgeable, very professional, and his staff was very courteous and caring. And basically, I have no complaints.

11/21/2023

This is one of the first providers that understood my insurance and it didn't say what kind of insurance is this.

11/21/2023

Dr Shaw has been my dr for last 10 years or more, like him a lot, he pays attention

10/17/2023

Dr. Shaw demonstrated quite some time ago that his dedication to his patients was different than what I was used to. I found Dr. Shaw by going to BR Clinic Urgent Care - at the time, my PCP was at BR Clinic - even the urgent care environment with Dr. Shaw was different than what I was used to. During that first encounter, I asked if I could be his patient, and I've been more than pleased with my decision. My last appointment affirmed why Dr. Shaw is so gifted at what he does. My conversation with Dr. Shaw lasted almost an hour, if not longer, solely because Dr. Shaw took the time to hear me out. Another comparison with my prior PCP - I don't ever recall an appointment that lasted longer than 15 minutes. Nonetheless, Dr. Shaw understands the importance of listening to his patients - not only related to what they're feeling, but what's happening in their lives, so that he can make an educated decision about what needs to happen with the individual as a whole. He isn't quick to write a prescription unless he feels you need it - when he mentions a medication to me, I don't question it because I trust him that much. Dr. Shaw is a true gem, and BRG is blessed to have him. Having a doctor that listens means the world to some folks, and I'm in that number.

Great staff and Doc??

01/20/2022

Dr. Shaw and his nurse (I forget her name but she noted my chart this visit) go above and beyond, from listening and actually hearing what my issues are, addressing them while encouraging me & following through. They went above and beyond when I was facing a family emergency to insure I still had the care I needed all while giving emotional support. My faith in health care is restored, I feel confident my quality of life will continue to improve under their care.

01/04/2022

My experience was Awesome!!!

01/04/2022

I had seen Dr Shaw this provider for 8 years prior I've never been so insulted in all my life

Excellent doctor, great listener, great customer service, courteous staff, polite. Very knowledgeable doctor, very knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone.

11/02/2021

Dr. Shaw is a wonderful man in that he has always been more than the average doctor. He explains every thing and even shows me pictures on the computer. His personality is delightful and I can call and say "I need to see you " and he fits me in.

10/19/2021

My doctor is awesome! He "knew" I was having a heart attack (thi was 12-15 years ago) sent me to Emergency room, called ahead, had heart doc with me and early the next morning I had an angiogram. I was his first heart patient he diagnosed, and he did it again several years later. His talent for diagnostics is amazing! I still see him today, he manages all my prescriptions, and really cares for his patients. I have been with him many years and he is still the smartest and kindness physician that I know. I asked him once how his referrals are always such positive and professional. He simply said, "These are the doctors I referred my parents to!!" WOW!!

10/19/2021

Always had a wonderful visit @ the General, everyone there seems to be hand picked, never had problem always felt special...

10/19/2021

Dr. Shaw are always listen, and he's very knowledgeable with his responses.

09/21/2021

Dr. Shaw treats me and all my adult children. I wouldn't trade him for anything.

09/07/2021

I have always been treated very good from the front check in desk,nurse,and everyone who has treated me in Baton Rouge General.

09/07/2021

The experience that I have encountered with the sign in ladies, the nurses,my primary provider and the rest of the staff has been great. As for as I am concerned Baton Rouge General is one of the best hospitals in Baton Rouge Louisiana, with great people that work there.

07/27/2021

Dr. Shaw told me, while I was in his office, if I had any problems just to call him and let him know, but there is no way I can get in touch with him. Whenever I call, they say, well we'll give him the message but then I never hear anything back.

07/13/2021

Dr. Shaw is a great doctor. He makes me feel comfortable that I can tell him anything. He listens and takes his time and I feel good telling him anything.

06/22/2021

Always a great visit with my Primary Care Physician

06/01/2021

It's always a good visit, I just wish I didn't have to wait so long, bc they give you an appointment for say 1:00 and you don't see the doctor up to 45 to an hour later, but I do NOT blame the doctor I think it's a combination of over booking, bc the doctor listens and stays with you until the Patient has been able to talk to the doctor and go over everything, he is a awesome doctor!

05/25/2021

All of the staff were exceptional. Dr. Vincent Shaw listened, answered all my questions and was very caring and professional He is one of the best doctors that I have ever had. Excepted on this last visit the nurse that brought me back wasn't polite, she seem to have no compassion. I had my meds as I was told to bring in she didn't ask me about them. I hope that the next time that I go in to see the doctor that she isn't the one to take me back. this isn't the first bad experience that I have had with this nurse. ( I figured maybe she was having a bad day.) I did express to the doctor of her rudeness.

05/18/2021

Dr. Shaw has been my doctor for about probably 10 years now and he's excellent at what he does for me.

04/27/2021

My experiences with this Doctor and Nursing staff has always been a great one. Dr Shaw is always professional and courteous and very thorough as well as the entire staff. There is no other doctor or nursing staff I would rather have treat me than those here.

02/02/2021

Every interaction during my visit was professional, pleasant and with an intent of concern

01/19/2021

I think this was a good way to do it, because I had no success with the portal, and I love Dr. Shaw. I cannot say enough about him and the staff too. They are very lovely people, and I'm quite comfortable with them every time I see them. Thank you.

10/27/2020

I've been seeing Dr. Shaw off a long time, and I wouldn't trade them for any other provider.

09/22/2020

I have not had any bad experience with Dr. Vincent Shaw or his nurses. The problems always happen with the ladies at the check in desk. The patient have to wait until they finish their conversation with each other, telephone call or whatever they are doing on the computer instead of stopping what they are doing and sign the patient in.

09/15/2020

After over 6 weeks, I am still waiting for the results from blood lab work and xrays. I have called the doctors office at least 6 times over the 6 weeks for the results of the tests and the same answer "the Dr. will call you". Yes, but when??? In the meantime, I have received the bills for the office visit, lab work and xrays. Should I even pay these if I do not know the results of these?

11/19/2018

The only complain I had is the time, they give you an appointment say for 10 o'clock and you don't see the doctor for an hour and a half to two hours later. Other than that everything's fine.

Front office and back office are the worst I have ever dealt with. Apts are difficult to get as the recep. puts you on hold & forgets you. The back office (nurse) doesn't return calls or fax my pharmacy without delays (days) Dr. Shaw is the best doctor I have ever seen in my life.

I've only seen the dr twice in the 5 months. The nurses don't give messages all they should have to call more than once to get a response.
