Dr. Shu was so knowledgeable about my rather uncommon or even rare conditions and provided clearly-stated input regarding her suggested plan of care. Where other neurologists with whom I worked with in the past have not been able to figure out what disorders I truly have, Dr. Shu had no trouble whatsoever piecing together my symptoms and test results to give me sound diagnoses. She was a pleasure to interact with and I appreciated here sincere, heartfelt expression of sympathy for what I'm going through, too. A top doc!
