    I am a retired doctor so know the ins and outs of medicine today with all of the competing bureaucratic and administrative activities that take doctors aways from caring for their patients. Dr Shoback was outstanding and I hope she receives some compensation for her excellent patient care shared clinical decision making approach and the time she took with me to develop a patient informed treatment plan.

    Dr. Shoback is extremely throough has clearly reviewed my rest results before the visit demonstrates genuine concern for me is an expert in the field of osteoporosis always addresses general health even though she is not my primary care provider and other wise is an outstanding physician. Her explanations are clear. A patient could not find a more knowledgeable and caring physician-- I feel fortunate to be her patient.
