Surgeon Testimonial

Mark A. Shina M.D.
10/5/06 I just realized that its been 2 yrs today since my seminar with Dr Shina. What an amazing 2 years its been. If u r looking for a surgeon and its in any way possible for u to travel to Louisville Ky, I highly recommend Dr Shina. He is just one of the best there is. In all the times I've seen Dr Shina he has been patient, he sits down and talks to me at each visit (check up), he never rushes me, or acts like he's in hurry. The times that I've had to call him after hours he's always called me right back and been very nice and understanding. Although the last night I had to call him could have been avoided if I had thought about it long enough but he was still nice to me and that was one time he shouldn't have been. It was something silly and I got scared but he was still very polite when he called back, it ended up being nothing. I would, and do on a regular basis, recommend Dr Shina to anyone researching this surgery. He and his staff are just the best.

10/5/04 My husband, Adam, and I loved Dr Shina. Well, I have only met him once, but I can't see my impression changing. The office staff today was wonderful. We liked everything about him. He is a wonderful surgeon, I haven't had surgery yet, but just by my first impression I can tell that he is one of the BEST. He doesn't sugar coat anything or pull any punches. We really liked him. Aftercare to him is a top priority and very important. Yes, he does. Yes, he did. So far on a scale from 1 to 10, I would give him and staff a 20. Surgical competence is the most important thing to me, but Dr Shina seems to have that plus a great attitude. I look forward to future visits with him.

A baby?

I've got a good feeling about this month. We did the baby dance everyday this past week while I was supposed to O and I just got a good feeling about things. If I did get pg my estimated due date is 11/21/08 That is James's 15th bday and the day before Allison's 7th bday. That would be wild wouldn't it, 3 kids with their bday's all so close together. Anyway, I'm trying hard to force myself to wait. No buying pg test until I'm late!!! I did read up on one test, First Response and its supposed to be able to show 10 days after implanation. This morning I got sick. Course I'm fine now. Could have been something I ate last night or a whole lot of wishful thinking on my part. I've also got 2 things that are sore and sensitive. They usually don't get that way until right before I start. Ok, I know I'm grossing out all the guys. Just keep your fingers crossed for us....Adam passed his home sperm test 2 weeks ago so thats a good sign...He's going for a actual count this week. Hope u all have a great day. Adam is still sleeping since he worked last night and has to work again tonight. Soon as we know anything positive I'll let everyone know. Adam came home this morning and saw the trash can sitting in front of the toliet where I'd been sick and he got excited. (yes, thats about too much info isn't it?
Talk to ya later...
I'm thinking about calling my dr tomorrow to see how soon he could do a blood test and find out that way. I'm on 3 medicines that worry me. Ativan, Meclizine, and Zoloft. Thats one reason I want to know soon as possible if I am
