Individual attention to each patient is a hallmark of Dr. Shaw’s practice. “I have to measure my professional accomplishments by the impact I make on each patient one day at a time. This is where I get my greatest satisfaction and why I do what I do. It’s the difference you make in curing a patient you are face to face with in the office or the operating room. That’s what makes me look forward to going to work every day, and how I have grown a successful ENT practice in the Atlanta area over the past 15 years.”
