Dr. Shurmur is a very caring specialist who goes beyond the norm for helping his patients. I see some comments on him being "arrogant" but he is really just the opposite, extremely caring. I rank him at the very top of my Doctors.

Very rude, no bedside manner, will not listen to symptoms or other Drs. diagnosis. Thinks he's Dr. House . All he will discuss is what is wrong with him.

He was the worst doctor I have ever encountered. Bad bed side manners, arrogant. I will never go back there, not even for follow up results of blood test.

He is very arrogant and rude. I would never recommend anyone going to him. He even said Jesus Christ outside my room, when he grabbed the the papers off my door before coming in. He did an X-Ray but would not do an MRI. A lot of people I know had an X-Ray, that would not show much then get a MRI and the problem shows up. VERY VERY disappointed in this DR

Dr. Shurmur - has me feeling better than I have felt in 25 years. He is a great doctor who cares for his patients and wants to make you feel better so you can enjoy life. I highly recommend him to anyone.
