My husband has been going to Dr. Shade for over 2 years. He listens to all concerns and truly cares. He goes out of his way to get the test results to us as quickly as possible - usually the same day as the scan. We recently had an issue with the insurance company wanting to deny a scan. His office had it resolved and approved the next day. We couldn't be more grateful

While friendly, this doctor is all talk, based on my experience. He told me he would phone me regarding results and instead had his Nurse call me. She gave me inaccurate information, which is irresponsible and reckless, and offered zero insight. My symptoms continue and I have my labs to support my case. Yet this Dr. can't be bothered to even follow up with me. It's appalling.

Dr. Shade has the best bedside manner! He takes time to go over, and explain all test results, listens to concerns, and makes suggestions regarding care, and follow-up. Very good oncologist.

Dr. Shade listened and engaged in a real conversation with me. He was not patronizing at all, but treated me with respect and dignity. He is a jem!
