Dr. Shanan Munoz, MD

I had an appointment with Dr. Munoz yesterday for migraines. I cannot say enough good things about her! She was so thorough, organized, and thoughtful. I don't think I have ever had a doctor spend so much time with me, which meant a lot. I also don't think I've ever felt led to leave a review for a doctor, which says a lot. I was nervous going into my appointment (mostly because I was concerned I would be rushed like usual at doctor's appointments), but I walked away feeling like all my concerns were addressed with kindness and expertise and that she had put a positive action plan in place. If you have any neurology concerns, you will be lucky to have Dr. Munoz on your team!

Referred to her from my long covid clinic. Have a number of neuropathy issues, including pain in my face and arms, transient headaches with eye that feels like paralysis at times. Rather than trying to investigate what the answers are, her go-to is to throw SSRIs at a patient. I get the sense she is very set in her ways and does not really listen to her patients and how they feel. I have had POTS like symptoms that when I lift weights during exercise it spurs my tremors. I shared this knowing my body, but she told me that weights should counter the nerve issues I am having. No ma'am, it spikes the issues and makes it worse.

I am a 50-year old teacher, master's education, certified and experienced in multiple subjects including teaching/translating 4 languages (English, French, Italian, Romanian). In 2009 I consulted Dr. Munoz for 1 specific complaint: left foot issues after a D.C. failed crime that had targeted my ex-Navy husband and me. Dr. Munoz never addressed my medical problem, but issued a false and intimidating medical report. I finally had the courage to make full disclosures to Police in 2018.

In 2009 I consulted Dr. Munoz for 1 specific complaint: left foot paralysis occurred after a traumatic human-trafficking-related event I had just suffered. Dr. Munoz never addressed my condition, instead issued a medical report that EFFECTIVELY SILENCED ME about the crime until 2018: it stated false diagnoses reminiscent of those the criminals had at the time threatened me with if I disclosed anything (mental illness and imprisonment for it) – thus this medical report facilitated the obstruction
