Dr. Shanker and her team are the absolute best!

02/08/2023

Dr. Shanker and the IHA team is the result of requesting a 2nd opinion. I had a previous surgery that I was not happy with. That surgery left me with more concerns, pains and problems. In addition, I was dismissed, hurt and confused. Left with no clear answers or explanations. I sought a different opinion and I was referred to IHA. I am so happy for it! Although my situation is uncomfortable, I am now less depressed, I feel more feminine and I have providers that are patient and understanding. I love it here

10/05/2022
