Patient Reviews
Jul 28, 2025
Dr. Shum has been the beginning to 'THE ANSWER' to all my medical riddles! Dr. Shum took me on when I didn't know where else to go! Before meeting her, My Forever Neurologist, I was bedridden! I SUFFERRED DEBILITATING MIGRAINES AMONST OTHER TYPES. On the Very First Visit, she started me on an injection with breakthrough medications that allowed us to get in control of them. Then we able to move forward on all else???? I'm a 2-time neurosurgical patient years before finding her. So, because of these major surgeries, I began suffering later on long term after effect. Not only does she listen to you & treats you not as a patient, but her patient!! She's relentless when it comes to figuring out what your ailments are & treating them appropriately until she finds what works for you. She also left nothing out & in being sure every medical test is done safely & efficiently to have all answers ???? She also set me up with multiple much needed referrals & with no regrets, Every single one she sent me forth on also became part of my team!! All from physical therapy to pain management & many in between!! SHE'S BEEN A SAVIOR TO ME & MUCH MORE???? Even my husband saw how Amazing she was & he is also now a LOYAL patient for life! I will Not forget Michele Twitto that I found to known her prior from my neurosurgeons & happily ended up seeing her!! She's Dr. Florence Shums right hand. We both are forever endeavor to you for ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR US ?????? LAST & NOT LEAST, her beautiful staff she has, they're a blessing to it all :)) My husband & I will be with you to the end???????? Thank You from the bottom of our hearts!! Suzanne & Melvin
