      Dr.Shinkai is a excellent physician. She is incredibly thorough, professional, and warm in her interactions. Her depth of knowledge for overlapping medical issues is always impressive and helpful in making decisions regarding medication changes and ongoing medical care. I gladly drive 5 hours for follow-up care.
