I must express my admiration for Dr. Shehebar – unquestionably one of the most skilled doctors and surgeons I have ever encountered. His compassionate nature truly sets him apart, showing a genuine concern for his patients. During my initial consultation with Dr. Shehebar, he provided a comprehensive explanation of my condition, detailing the planned intervention and the intricacies of the procedure. I am deeply thankful and grateful for his expertise and compassionate care. Dr. Shehebar not only excels as a medical professional but also as an exceptional human being, dedicating his time, energy, and attention to his patients. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Shehebar to anyone facing colorectal issues.I also want to commend Dr. Shehebar's NP, Elaine, for her outstanding care and professionalism. Elaine is extremely knowledgeable and supportive, and she always goes the extra mile to help her patients. She answered all of my questions patiently and thoroughly! Amazing team!
