Aug 24, 2017
Dr. Shires saved our 9 year old daughter's life after she experienced a ruptured appendix. When our family doctor asked if we had a preference in a surgeon, we were at a loss. He recommended Dr. Shires and we are so happy he did. We were amazed by her professionalism, compassion, attention to detail and follow up. I have been more than happy to recommend Dr. Shires to family and friends.
