Dr Susan Shaw 2017-07-05 Person 5 5 0

My husband and I saw Dr Shaw in January when he was referred as an emergency patient by our GP. Dr Shaw listened attentively to everything we had to say. She was calm, considerate and extremely professional in her approach. This is all the more impressive since my husband was highly agitated and not making much sense at the time. I am his wife and I found his behaviour extremely alarming. Dr Shaw was not shaken by his aggression and his emotional outbursts. What is more, a short time afterwards, Dr Shaw produced a written summary of that utterly chaotic meeting which was astonishing in its clarity and grasp of our situation. Only someone highly skilled in what she does could have taken such accurate case history from such a confused and distressed patient. Dr Shaw sectioned my husband and put him on the path to recovery. I will always be grateful for her insight and would recommend her to anyone seeking specialist help.
