George L. Shashoua's Online Review Report Card

The best Doctor I have ever had, I will be a life long patient.

I'm an RN, 73 yo, and have known Shashoua for 25 years. After having recurrent UTI's every few months for 3 years, chronic atrophic vaginitis, and having given up on ever having sex again, I went to Shashoua. He operated and placed a vaginal wall fascial graft, repaired a cystocele, and prescribed an estrogen ring. I have never felt better. No UTI's for 7 months and sex is fun again. This guy's the best for pelvic reconstructive surgery!

Could not have asked for better in every respect of the surgery. What ever the doc is paying the staff, he needs to pay them more! What a great team of ladies!

I can't say enough about Dr. Shashoua and his team. I have been putting my surgery off for years. I am so glad my Dr. referred me to Dr. Shashoua.. From the first visit through surgery and my post op oppointments has been a wonderful experience. The process was so easy and I received excellent care. Thank you all for your kind work!!!!!

Dr George Shashousa is a skilled, knowledgeable and personable physician who champions the cause for patients. Be assured that he work is stellar and reflects that of a clearly outstanding healthcare providers. For his good work and caring spirit, I offer thanks!

I read Dr. Shashoua's reviews prior to seeing him. Based on the glowing remarks by some, I went ahead and kept the appointment. Bad move. I first saw my GI doc, then she referred me to him, stating "you need a hysterectomy", having done several tests already. He was fairly abrupt, completely disagreed with the referring doc and went to some length to describe the procedure he thought I should have. The procedure he described included having 2 surgeons involved to re-build the pelvic floor and address a vaginal prolapse. It was a major surgery, including 2 incisions and sounded like it would take months to heal. I went ahead and saw the rectal-colon doctor who would do that part of the surgery. He totally disagreed with Dr S, advising me that physical therapy would correct the problem within 3 months, with an 80% success rate. I kept my follow up appt with Dr S. Dr S apparently couldn't be further bothered with me. I saw an RN. I advised her what the colon doc had said, and stated that I wanted to go ahead and surgically address the prolapse. In a complete about-face, she stated "we" shouldn't do surgery. She continued to explain what was needed, totally different than what I heard a couple weeks ago. She gave me what felt like an unnecessary pelvic exam. Never saw the doctor. Essentially paid $50 for a nurse to do a pelvic, and to hear her refute what the actual surgeon said. So I had two conflicting opinions. I went back to my primary care doc who actually knows me and I will take her good advice. This guy is a loser who is knife-happy.

I was diagnosed with Cystocele and required to have the Da Vinci Sacrocolpoperineopexy/Da Vinci Sacrocolpopexy. The staff was excellent at alleviating my fears and took very good care of me. I received call backs on any concerns that I experienced. I would refer them to all my friends.

I found Dr. Shashoua and his staff to be the best ever. After two failed surgeries, he gave me a third chance and I am forever grateful. From the initial visit to followup visit, I received friendly compassionate care from all of his staff. Thank you.

My wife will not be returning to see Dr. Shashoua. She went in to discuss possible symptoms of prolapse. Dr. Shashoua, though knowledgeable about the issue, became irritated and dismissive when my wife wished to ask questions about her condition that he did not deem necessary. We were taken aback, having never see such an attitude from a medical professional. At one point, the doctor shushed my wife, cutting her off and gesturing for her to stop in her attempts to speak. Her concerns were pertinent to the issue. He simply seemed in a hurry to wrap things up. His manner was rude and unacceptable.

Absolutely the most compassionate doctor and staff ever!!
