Absolutely love Dr. Shanker, He's easy to talk , he listens to my kids problems , had great insight. He doesn't rush through our appointments, he takes his time too listen to me and my kids. He has called me back directly instead the secretary. I can usually get Emergency appts when I needed them. We unfortunately moved and no longer can see him, but I would recommend him to anyone. He is going to be a hard Doctor to replace. Jennifer B
