5.0 star star star star starDr. Shannahan was very helpful. Unfortunately, she clarified that she couldn't be my primary doctor, but that she knew who could help me, the new doctor who is starting this Friday, Dr. [ ]. She and the reception personnel helped me to set up an appoinent with her for next month. Dr. Anna was very personal & professional, which I greatly appreciate.

She was very thorough in her assessment of my daughters issues and she offered up a number of potential reasons and solutions that had never been discussed by other health care providers. She is a very talented physician and I’m so happy she was recommended to us.

5.0 star star star star starThis was just my first visit with Dr. Shannahan, but she was very thorough and seemed to listen to what I was saying. She took time to listen to me, answer my questions. She recommended a plan for now while we wait for further actions to be put into motion

5.0 star star star star starDr Shannahan is great to work with. She listened to my issues, asked questions and helped me to decide on the best course going forward. I have seen 3 other docs for the same issues and she is the first one to not simply treat my "lab results" and dug deeper to understand why I may need different treatment than the "standard protocol" treatment I have been receiving. I feel listened to and have a path forward finally.

3.0 star star star star_border star_bordertoo long to get an appt. Also, the first visit as a new patient should not be a phone conversation appointment. I felt undervalued as a patient. Physician cannot visually see my physical problem/condition. Not a solution if the reason is short staffing.

5.0 star star star star starShe is a MD who is a great listener, and straight to the point in ordering the next steps (tests, labs, etc). During my telehealth appointment, I felt that we were “on the same page†throughout the entire appointment, which is rare. I have confidence that this doctor will help me heal. Thank you!
