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.

Gracie Ann Royalty Born 2/22/08 died 2/22/08

I've always expressed my grief in writing and while I'm not very good at it. Its something I do. Heres a poem I just wrote for Gracie Ann to put in a frame and decorate for the funeral. Tell me honest opinions....Its just whats in my heart nothing fancy.

Friday, 22 February, 2008

My dearest Gracie Ann,

my little sweetheart, our little angel,

You are mommy and daddy's beautiful little angel,

Your are Bailey's little guardian angel,

You were a gift from God, given to us on His time, and God must have needed another angel so He brought you

back home to Heaven. I can just imagine u in Heaven, playing with all the other baby angels.

Dancing on the clouds, sliding on rainbows, and being held in the arms of Jesus.

Even though we're hurting so badly we can be comforted knowing that God holds you in His Hands and He carrys us thru these dark days. Oh sweet, baby,

we all love you so much. We will miss you so very much.

U've touched our lives so briefly and yet the pain of losing you hurts us deeply,

Rest in Peace, sweet angel, for your our baby angel.

Love always,

Aunt Ange.....

I pray that from His glorious, unlimited resources, He will give you mighty inner strength through His Holy Spirit.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. It sounds like your family is having a tough time all around.

At the hospital, there will be resources for your family on surviving the grief of losing a baby. They may also have a 'memory box' or something with momentos to save from the birth, -- baby's foot prints, lock of hair if baby had any, etc. I used to be an OB nurse, and this situation was always the most difficult. Take care. Janelle

I am so sorry for your family. I am so thankful that your sister-in-law didn't die as well. The baby is beautiful. I can't imagine what they are going thru. I hope they will see her beautiful little face again one day in heaven. Sincerely, Laurie
