Patient Reviews
Mar 25, 2025
After waiting 45 minutes in an exam room he spent all of 3 minutes and 20 seconds with ultrasound to tell me what the ultrasound already said. Too bad he didn’t read it or look at the cd he requested I bring. He then put misinformation in his notes to my Endo and PCP. Said I had a pseudonodule when that nodule was biopsies in 2012 and verified it was a nodule not a pseudonodule. I won’t be going back. His bedside manner is awful and it’s hard to get passed his arrogance and lack of compassion. For short I wouldn’t send my pet dog to him.

I don’t have a many regrets in life, but having Dr Shifrin as my Surgeon, is one of the biggest regrets that I have. His bedside manner is the size of a tick. He’s uncompassionate, argumentative, and feels he doesn’t have to explain anything medically that you may be experiencing after surgery? I let him know that, and when I had my postop appointment with him, he did not show up he sent his physician assistant? What a weasel.
