"Dr. Shanks was very professional yet friendly. Both she and Dr. Linder were “right on” in diagnosing my problem."

"One of Dr. Shanks' greatest strengths is her exceptional communication skills. She listens attentively to her patients, taking the time to understand their concerns and address their questions. Her ability to explain complex medical information in a clear and understandable manner helps patients feel informed and empowered in their healthcare decisions. Dr. Shanks ensures that her patients are active participants in their own care, fostering a collaborative and patient-centered approach. Empathy and compassion are at the core of Dr. Shanks' interactions with her patients. She understands the physical and emotional challenges that patients may face and provides unwavering support and reassurance. Her genuine care for each patient's well-being extends beyond their medical condition, as she considers their individual circumstances and concerns. I often describe her as approachable, empathetic, and understanding, which creates a comforting and trusting environment."

"Dr. Shanks has been an absolute gift to have found. She has been the most attuned doctor I have seen . She listens to what you tell her even the smallest , recaps to make sure she is clear, and if need be will research what is needed to assist a patient. I have the upmost confidence in her as my physician and can only hope everyone could find this quality physician."

"Doctor Shanks takes the time to listens to what you have to say about the symptoms you are experiencing. She is very knowledgeable of these symptoms and gets very specific about the details she asks concerning them. She performs any testing available to Herat the time to determine your condition. In my case she tested for the Flu virus and it was Negative. She prescribed the medication I needed to help me through until I could get a COVID test ( which she did not have access to). I tested Positive to the COVID-19 virus, which she was very certain was causing my symptoms. I made a call back to her and she immediately sent in a prescription to start treatment on COVID. I would highly recommend Doctor Shanks a highly knowledgeable and caring person that has a great personality."

"She was an excellent doctor. Was able to help me and my wife on a personal and professional level. She took time to get down to the root of our problem. She was very good at listening and giving her medical opinion"
