An Exemplary Physician, A Very Good Person

It is a given, Dr. Shannon Schrader is a highly competent physician. As a physician, he has numerous positive traits that would create a vibrant portrait of his very effective healthcare practices. However, I really want to spotlight underlying core character attributes that serve as the foundation for making him an "exemplary" physician. For over 20 years, Dr. S has served as my personal physician, and 8 years for my partner - Alex. It is without exception that Doc interacts with us in a relatable and genuine manner. His demeanor makes us feel comfortable and relaxed. He brings to the clinical environment a happy attitude that creates an anabolic presence around him. (That positive, optimistic energy permeates the same in others.) He relates to us with kindness, gentleness, dignity, and patience. He extends to us compassion about our needs, and he is equally as passionate about being straight-forward with us to ensure that healthcare decisions are truly in our best interest. He has proven to be trustworthy in his recommendations on our behalf. Additionally, he models his anabolic energy for his team, Alex and I deeply appreciate the quality of care that we receive from them. When we interact with them, whether by telephone, online, or in person, they make us feel that we are part of them, We feel their great care for us as people. It makes us more relaxed and happier people knowing that they are there for us. This is a testament to the person of Shannon Schrader. All of that spoken to say this: Shannon Schrader... the person, is a "very good person," which serves as the driver that helps make him an "exemplary"... Dr. Shannon Schrader.
