Theodore Roosevelt states “that people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”. I find this to be especially pertinent in a patient and physician setting. Categorically, we applaud Dr. Shimonov for his care, dedication and expertise for his patients. The "journey" of medical challenges can be “bumpy” but a compassionate and competent provider like Dr. Shimonov can ease the "bumps" along the "way" with effective and efficient "navigation" strategies for all concerned "passengers" and patients.
