How likely are you to recommend Dr. Shears?
What can I say about the genius Dr. Shears? He is straight to the point when it comes to pre op meetings and follow ups, but ?? percent on point when it comes to the actual surgery. I absolutely couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon to operate on the love of my life. It went so smoothly that it seemed like a routine surgery. I know it wasn’t routine but he is that good. She is up walking and i have to get on to her when she does the dishes. This is all within a week??He saved her life.
