Dr. Courtney Shands, MD

Dr. Shands is the most personable Dr. I've ever met. He has a great bedside manner and will take the time to explain things to you in a fashion that anyone can understand.

The staff is very friendly and efficient. Dr Shands treated me with excellence

Very efficient run office. Always on time, very friendly. The best doctor in his field. Keep up the good work.

Excellent bedside manners. Very thorough and assuring. Competent and cares well for his patience.

Been seeing Dr. Shands since the early 1990's after him doing kidney surgery for me. At that time he fought for me with the insurance company for my safety. I have never forgotten. Still today he cares for me as a real person and not a number. One of the best!!!!!!!

I really like Dr Shands but I have never experienced a worst staff. They are rude, NEVER return calls, and make you feel like you shouldn’t ask questions. Were it not for my confidence in Dr Shands I would look for another doctor. The staff is your first introduction and should be the best.

I went in for my initial consultation today. Dr Shands was ver understanding and explained to me the procedure in full detail easy to understand.

Very recommended, good bed side manners, and actually seemed to care about your issues.

He is fantastic and really helped me through a very rough time!!

My real concerns with this particular rating is not that the doctor is bad - he's quite interesting and seems knowledgeable. I'm not comfortable with the end result (two months post-vasectomy and there seems to be a big disconnect in physiology). The biggest issue and the worst is the lack of motivation, concern and care by the front-desk staff. I can guarantee you'll come away feeling like you're a burden on them and if you would go away, their life would be happy-happy joy-joy. I can't say enough on how poorly I'd rate the office staff as a whole unit. Don't plan on being someone they care about.

I love this man. I could not get a diagnosis from heads of departments. They would tell me that nothing was the matter with me without seeing me or my tests. Dr Shands looked at previous tests and could tell me where my problem was and two more tests later what my problem was. He listened when I wanted to try a different treatment option that would not harm me and was perfectly honest on my limitations. He has given me a great quality of life. Knowledge is power and he gave me that.
