We tell everyone we talk to - and we have many friends and relatives - about the outstanding care we receive at Huntsman. We love and appreciate Dr Shami and his PA, both of whom show obvious care, concern and expertise as it relates to my illness. We love them both.

I have always seen Dr Shami for my doctor visits and have really appreciated his candor and demeanor. I missed working with him this visit. The lecturing that I received from Andy was too heavy handed. I have worked my whole life to live a very healthy lifestyle and continue to do so. A shaming approach is not productive.
