I've had the best experience with Dr. Shao and his team. Making appointments was easy. He and his team are friendly and professional, and they provide the highest levels of care. Great communicators, I always knew I was a phone call away if there were any questions. I recommend Dr. Shao with highest ratings.

I have varicose vein removal with Dr Shao, he’s very professional, I have questions and I texted him and he right away responses my texts, I’m so happy and great full that my primary Dr sent me with Dr Shao, my leg doesn’t hurt me anymore, my leg used to be restless after work. I truly recommend Dr Michael Shao and definitely if have to do this kind of procedure I’ll do it with him.
