Dr. Shearer made my Dad's visit very informative and pleasant. This was his first official appointment since being diagnosed with Cancer and she was very professional. She was very patient as well, and made this experience that was frightening at first more comforting. Thanks Dr. Shearer! Hope Im spelling her name right!
