    Dr. Shaw is very caring and compassionate.

  • Feb 2, 2026

    Dr. Cheryl Shaw is easily the best doctor I have had In my 77 years. She has an unbelievably great patient demeanor, shows genuine care for the patient, asks all the right questions and listens to the patients answers. Her diagnosis and actions are always spot on effective. Dr. Shaw is so effective I actually look forward to going in to see her. She is the BEST of the best.
