Dr. John Michel Shammaa, MD

He performed my colonoscopy in a thorough and competent manner. I was worried about biopsies taken by another doctor but after the procedure, he explained what he found in a very reassuring way. He was polite and professional. I am very satisfied with him.

This physician was rude, arrogant, inattentive, and even a little depraved as he left my bare breast exposed while he examined MY ABDOMEN, and re-exposed them when i tucked the gown around and over them. He made light of my every complaint and critisized my family physician who had referred me. I would rather see a vet in leu of this man. Office staff was prompt and courteous. WVU hospitals dropped the ball with this hire.

Well visit started off bad when he enters room and tells me he doesn't do his office visits without the interns or felloship Dr.s in training to come into the room first and do all the questioning like your some kind of prisoner. After all the talk about my conditions and listens to my breathing and feels my stomach he says about going to put me on a med that i took for a year and it failed even after i told him so. The last bad thing any Dr. could do in my mind that told me to just get up and walk out because it's just going to be a waste of my money is that he told me he won't spend more than the 15 to 20 minutes on a visit and he has 4 other patients waiting. So i got up and told him i won't keep him waiting any more because i felt i was being pushed out the door and he can take care of his other patients then. I didn't even curse at him or tell him off. I feel that no Dr. should act that way toward a patient. Not my kind of Dr.!
