Dr. Shams is a star on many accounts. The best way I can explain our relationship is that she is like the sister I never had. Our conversations are very frank, built with mutual trust over 30 years of being a patient. She is very knowledgeable and relatable. I always look forward to my appointments because they are always positive and I feel like I have some control over my treatment.
Dr. Shams is professional, knowledgeable, and has good bedside manner. She is tagged with an incredible team that is thorough and punctual. I appreciated the time she took to review my charts from my hospital stay, info received from her PA, and answered all of my questions. I visited her Sandy Springs office which was easy to find and had a minimal wait to be seen (which is a huge plus for me). Front office staff is very courteous!
The staff is always very friendly, kind and efficient. I never have to wait more than a few minutes to be taken back for bloodwork, etc.
