Why our patients believe in us  ......

“Dr. Shore-Schein is an excellent rheumatologist. She is by far the best rheumatologist I've ever had (and I've had MANY!) She truly goes above and beyond for her patients to maximize their comfort and overall quality of life. She is a true healer, not just a pill-pusher. And she genuinely listens to her patients. I cannot recommend her enough. She is a TRUE advocate for her patients and her advocacy efforts have changed my life. After years of genuine pain and suffering, I've realized that all it took all along was finding one good doctor to step up, step in, and give a damn! Thank you, Dr. Shore-Schein, from the bottom of my heart. (Bonus: she has a great team, too. Her assistant Amanda is the best!)

"Dr Shore-Schein was recommended to me by my father’s neurologist a few years ago, and I’m so grateful for that. I couldn’t ask for a better doctor for my father, who was diagnosed with severe RA many years ago. I love the fact that she practices a combination of traditional and alternative medicine. She is very professional, knowledgeable, personable. I would agree with the previous review, because she is so thorough, you might be waiting a little bit longer than you expected, but it’s SO WORTH IT. Also, I’d like to share something that had touched my heart. It happened a few months ago. My father was scheduled to have a tele-health appointment with Dr. Shore-Schein during a time when my parents and I were diagnosed with COVID-19. All of us were lucky enough not to be hospitalized, we were able to get our treatment while staying home. Dr Shore-Schein spent over an hour talking to me on the phone, making sure that we got all the medical attention we needed. She was so caring, and what impressed me more than anything was that she called us twice after that conversation just to check in on us. I’m sure everyone would agree that this is something we don’t see too often. I would definitely recommend Dr. Shore-Schein to anyone who is looking for a good rheumatologist."

"I have been diagnosed with a rheumatoid related chronic illness since 2015. I have been seen by several rheumatologist and none were able to truly meet me where I was at with my illness. I had been totally healthy until this diagnosis. I was terrified at all these changes my body was going through. I was untrusting of western medicine and wanted to try a combined approach, using holistic measures too. I was quickly dismissed and was told that medication was the only way. I was made to feel belittled. I was made to think my thoughts and concerns of what my body felt like, was not as useful and important as what the doctors knew. My world turned around after finding Dr. Shore Schien. She is an amazing doctor and have been under her care for almost two years. I still have my struggles with the disease but to have a doctor willing to fight with you makes all the difference. I wish there were more doctors that accepted patients for all they bring. Patients want to be treated as people, not like they are in a lecture class where you just sit and listen. Thanks to Dr. Shore Schien, I feel heard and apart of my treatment team!!"

"I had some "funky" issues (i.e., strange rashes, positive ANA, elevated liver enzymes) and Dr. Shore-Schein was the ONLY doctor who sat with me and helped me figure out the CAUSE of the issues rather than just give me a prescription to cover it up. I absolutely love this doctor and can't recommend highly enough! She is extremely thorough and you will never feel rushed (although this means she typically runs a bit late, so just plan on that and you will be fine - she is worth the wait)."

“Best doctors you will ever find. The staff is extremely helpful and kind towards patient needs. Doctor Lucille Shore-Schein is the best rheumatologist I've worked with. She was able to diagnose me when three others couldn't. Her integrative medicine skills have made all the difference in my treatment plan. Her assistant Amanda, couldn't be nicer and accommodating. I truly recommend this office.”

“I can honestly say that I have never met a doctor as caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and hands-on as Dr. Shore-Schein. Her willingness to listen and work with me, as opposed to just upping my meds and sending me on my way, is so refreshing. She is as involved in my care as I am. I truly believe that she wants me to get rid of this disease as much as I do! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!”

“I'm seeing Dr. Shore-Schein for something my primary care wanted to "keep an eye on" over the year.  Left uncared for this could have led to the need for pharmaceuticals to treat. But with the addition of some key vitamins my issue has been corrected and I feel better than ever. I can't thank her enough or encourage others to consult with her for things that would traditionally need medication to treat or maintain. She is amazing and rather brilliant.”

"Dr. Shore-Schein is a life saver!! For years I had been told by doctors that my thyroid was “fine” and “under control”, yet my body was telling me differently. While supposedly my bloodwork was normal, I was having all of the classic thyroid flare up symptoms - excessive weight gain, exhaustion, poor mood, hair loss, and more. I got sick of being told I was fine after developing another more serious symptom, so I saw Dr. Shore-Schein for a second option, and THANK GOD I did! I came to find out that for years, my doctor had only been testing the very basics, and never once checked to see if I had developed an autoimmune thyroid condition. After Dr. Shore-Schein looked into this, she found that my antibodies were scarily high and I was in fact having a major thyroid autoimmune flare up. I was not “fine” as I had been told. And she did not stop her investigations there. She wanted to get a whole picture of my health because “everything in your body is connected” - this is all I have ever wanted. She ended up finding several other factors that were directly contributing and potentially causing the thyroid issues instead of just throwing me on another medication like past doctors. After only a few months of being treated via vitamin therapies, food sensitivity testing (diet change), GI testing, etc - I feel like a different person already. I cannot thank her enough and could not recommend her more to anyone feeling like they have lost hope or would like a thorough examination to find the root cause of their problems!"

"Best rheumatologist I've seen.  Helps reduce pain, while lowering meds with diet, vitamins (when I was over strict-by my choice- with following her advice, reduced my pain 85%), but she doesn't push people to go that full out.  She's realistic about making changes.  Also, has trigger point therapy with the chiro there for those that need it.  Amanda and Ashley in the office are so helpful and go above and beyond."
