Laura Shaw is without a doubt the best general practitioner I have ever seen. She is always so pleasant and respectful to talk to. When I first visited her, she had a good intuition for my medical issues and ordered the appropriate tasks that immediately uncovered my problems. She has graciously humored all of my medical questions and answered them knowledgeably and understandably, and she has followed through with testing and referrals whenever necessary. I would recommend her to anyone in Columbia who needed a primary care practitioner!

I was expecting a breast exam and more ""hands-on"" exam. To be fair, I didn't ask for more, so I can't fault the doctor.
