Dr Shinn was not caring. Simply said my husband had dementia. Never did any bloodwork, nor MRI.

I was blindsided when he told me to seek psychiatrists help. That seemed to stem from my giving him a list of current health issues one of which is reoccurring “Cipro Tendonitis”.

He never did a physical exam, my neck & shoulders have a large amount rigidity. My take away is that he prescribes Cipro.
