Dr. Shifrin is a very special man….when I asked him why he choose this profession he said because he liked caring for people. He is a gentle, caring, compassionate gentleman who pays close attention to your concerns and genuinely wants to help in any way he can. A colleague recommended him to me a few years ago and I thank her every time I have to visit him….truly one of the world’s good people.
