Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Trustworthy
I believe Dr. Shiu when he tells me that surgery is not the best step forward to fix my rotator cuff tear. We will do PT first.

Positivity
Having endured over 12 surgeries to repair psoriatic arthritis damage I have known some excellent doctors. Dr. Shiu did his examination and was able to give me clear positive options to get back best possible function quickly. He did not rush me and he took a real interest in my getting improvement quickly. I think I am very fortunate. He is on my case.

Dr Shui is the best!!!!!
I have always liked Towson orthopedics but hadn’t needed them in many years. Then I broke my shoulder bone. I was referred to Dr Shui. I was in extreme pain & discomfort. Dr Shui was immediately kind & comforting. He explained everything clearly & patiently. he has an excellent bedside manner. He had my surgery scheduled within two days because of my pain. I felt so cared for by him. I started hearing about his excellent reputation. I am so grateful that I found dr shui. He helped make a lousy situation so much better.

All good docs at Towson
Dr Shui was very pleasant and reassuring. Replacement shoulder. I’ve been to Towson for almost every joint in my body, as well as 2 broken wrists (10 years apart). Rotator cuff surgery. Likely some more joint replacements, and I won’t go anywhere else.

Shoulder pain diagnostic
Clearly explains the result of X-ray and MRI and exam by hands movement with verbal communication prior diagnostic. Several recommendations for treatment and give patient a choice to make that decision.

A very positive experience, from start to finish!
From scheduling an appointment to ending my actual visit, all in all a very positive experience. All staff members I personally came in contact with were friendly and very efficient. I only had to wait several minutes between each step of the process; very helpful when your body is in pain to not have to wait long intervals. Dr. Shiu recommended was seems to be a good course of action for my issue, with plans to take other steps if my situation doesn’t improve, or worsens. Very glad I was referred to Dr. Shiu!
