  • "My experience with the Nurse Practitioner, Dr. Shum and the Technician was wonderful however the only issue was a lack of receptionists to take care of patients needs."
      from Sandra 3.0 Stars - (2024-06-28)
  • "I recently transferred to Dr Shum from another hematologist. I am so very glad I did. There was some confusion in the switchover from the previous doctor, but Dr Shum unraveled it with kindness and patience. Dr Shum took it in stride when I began to get emotional and share my fears about my condition and treatment, even though we had just met minutes before. I have anxiety, and despite my emotional state that day, my first visit with Dr Shum left me feeling grounded and reassured. I think my experience that day will go a long way toward being less fearful and emotional next time. Thank you, Dr Shum ☺️"
