Dr. Shondel is simply wonderful. She was the first doctor to take my mysterious abdominal pains seriously and offer me some solutions. After an ultrasound showed everything to be normal, she gave me the option of exploratory surgery. She explained in detail what the surgery entailed and the risks it carried so I could make an informed decision. For the first time, I felt involved in my own health care! We proceeded with the surgery during which she found and removed adhesions. Her friendly manner and confidence in her abilities really put me at ease about having surgery for the first time. When my pains weren't completely resolved, she offered me the option of a hysterectomy and let me take some time to think before making a decision. I will be going in for my hysterectomy soon and could not be more grateful for a doctor who listened to me and treated me as if my health were truly important to her.
