Patient Reviews
Jul 15, 2023
I have been a patient of Dr.Shaak’s for 30 years. I liked her from my very first appointment when she was located on Beacon Street, Boston. Your appointment is never rushed and she takes the time to explain things to you and she answers all my questions.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?
