Dr Shao was great, compassionate and aware of my history, ordered appropriate tests with explanation
Swedish Patient
Dr. Shao is very caring and thorough. I appreciate how quickly she responded to my MyChart results especially after a liver biopsy that I was very nervous to receive. I have only seen her twice but she has been wonderful collaborating my care.
