I had the most complete and thorough skin cancer check ever. She made it easy and comfortable and I had a problem which I mentioned and then forgot. I came home and sent a message thorough the portal and she responded quickly and ordered a prescription. I feel very fortunate she is my doctor and I would recommend her to everyone

Had a wonderful first meeting with Dr. Shaughnessey! At first glance, I was taken aback at how young she looked, but that meant nothing after a minute. She was very thorough in checking my entire body, extremely knowledgeable, answered all of my questions and explained in detail, and lastly she took her time! I would highly recommend her!
