I appreciate Dr. Shin's guidance, honesty, brilliance, and respect for me. I have decided to complete most of the standard of care but am very hesitant about the last step. She kindly advised another practitioner within Hopkins who could help me with integrative medical care while I continue follow-up care with her. I'm thankful for Dr. Shin's patience and expertise.
