I hadn't gone to Dr. Shavelson in about 3 yrs but recently my hubby had a really painful wound that was starting to worry me. So I reluctantly called the office because the last time I went I had a horrible experience and didn't really want to go back. even though the dr is great, the staff is a mess from the getto. Well something must have happened because what a breathe of fresh air A lovely woman greeted us with a smile and a pleasant tone, lady like,educated and great memory much better ; )
