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.

Excellent physician and person
Dr. Joshua Shaw, a remarkable physician and person, performed liver surgery on me two years ago; his expertise and genuine concern for me as a person were instrumental in giving me peace of mind and saving my life. He explained in detail the procedure, and after my surgery, he came in to reassure me that the surgery was successful. His manner and demeanor gave me strength and confidence throughout my successful battle with colangio carcinoma. Patients need such optimism and assurance, giving them faith in their doctor and in their recovery.

Pancreas Cancer
Dr. Shaw saved my life. I was diagnosed with a very aggressive type of pancreas cancer. Dr. Shaw was involved with my care early and is the main reason I made it through the whole ordeal. He has excellent bedside manners, he is calm and patient, displays empathy, at times is very funny and reassuring. I am very grateful he is my doc. I recommend him highly to all.

Wonderful Surgical Oncologist - Terrific
Dr. Shaw was terrific, he is competent, very straight forward, put me at ease, put my family at ease. He navigated us through the whole process and I am now 1 year in remission, an achievement I did not think I would live to see, and one I would not have seen without his expertise. Dr. Shaw is my person, if you are in dire straights, he should be your person.

My hero!
Dr. Shaw is without a doubt my hero! My 85 year old father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and luckily, we fell into the empathetic & highly skill hands of Dr. Shaw. He is not only a VERY skilled and highly trained surgical oncologist, his compassion and bedside manner is EXACTLY what a family needs in these types of medical situations.

My Triple Whipple
I ended up in the emergency room at Westside Regional on Super Bowl Sunday. Resident Doctors on staff were great but could not source the issue without Dr. Shaw he immediately ordered ERCP and a mass covered with lymph nodes was found. I had surgery 5 days after mass was found and by the Grace of God paired with Dr. Shaw’s knowledge and expertise my 9 hour surgery was successful 80 percent of liver was removed and intestines rebuilt. Most importantly mass was not cancerous. He was extremely honest and thorough, I am so grateful that he was able to be my surgeon.

Your Very Rude Pancreas Doesn't Stand a Chance!
Sooooo, I went in to have my gallbladder removed & ended up having to have part of my pancreas removed as well. It was not the type of thing you want to hear, especially having an infant at home. Dr. Shaw was really great. He was super informative and answered all my questions. I had complete trust in his intentions & capabilities. He was also easily accessible & communicative post surgery, which helped alot in recovery. I like to believe I got a second chance on life, to see my little girl grow up, and that, without doubt, would not be happening if it wasn't for him. If you're given the choice on who you want in your corner, going toe to toe with a gallbladder or pancreas that have betrayed you, I definitely recommend Dr. Shaw!

Dr. Joshua J. Shaw, provided exceptional care in the treatment of my pancreatic cancer. From the day he pulled a chair up to my bedside (10/14/23) and spoke the raw truth about my diagnosis, with compassion, I knew God had assigned him to my medical care. My husband, children, and I am forever grateful! Dr. Shaw, was more than just a surgical oncologist for me, he radiated a beacon of hope, and a guiding light that walked us through the darkest time of our life. The serene confidence and expert knowledge he displayed throughout the course of my treatment was inspiring – it gave me the courage to keep fighting.Dr. Shaw's capability, Integrity, and dedication to his profession is something we truly admired. The kindness and patience he showed, whenever explaining complex medical terms and procedures, reassured us and made this journey more navigable.His ability to balance his professional skills with a genuine sense of empathy is what makes Dr. Joshua Shaw truly exceptional!

#1 surgeon ever
My mom was in extremely critical condition. And then we met Dr Shaw. He literally came in and saved her life! Me and my whole family can’t thank you enough for giving us more time with my mother. You were there for us every step of the way. I don’t trust most doctors. And I absolutely trust Dr Shaw. He’s very informative and supportive for the family during very difficult times. I highly highly recommend him. If I could give 100 stars I truly would.

Exceptional, world class doctor and surgeon
From the onset of my first consultation with Dr Shaw, I knew I was dealing with a knowledgeable, experienced surgeon. His straightforward approach in presenting his findings to me was very welcoming. His explanation on next necessary course of action left nothing to guesswork. Dr Shaw keeps it real and simple. It was not in my life’s plans to be needing the expertise in Surgical Oncology. Since I did, I’m forever grateful to have been referred to Doctor Joshua Shaw.
