Dr. Christopher Robert Shaw, MD

I had a really good experience at Winchester medical thanks to Dr. Shaw and all the staff that helped me early this morning when I unfortunately had to go in to the ER due to severe abdominal pain. They were all so helpful and informative. It really helped having such supportive staff and such attentive doctor and surgeon while going through such a painful and scary experience.

If I could give negative stars I would. Went to the ER with my 2 year old daughter who had a large lump in her neck near her lymph node. Dr. Shaw came in and even before checking said “It’s 2 things either cancer or an infection.” Why would you say the cancer word before doing any exam or tests. He was very arrogant and dismissive. Told him she was acting lethargic and he interjected that she wasn’t the clinical definition of lethargic. She slept for nearly the entire 9 hr er stay which isn’t like her and is lethargic for her. When we asked him for his advice and what we should do he wouldn’t answer us only that we had to make the decision. He didn’t call the pediatrician until we decided to admit her 8 hrs later since we didn’t have a course of treatment from him. Once the pediatrician came he assured us it wasn’t cancer and gave us a course of action we were comfortable taking her home. I can’t believe someone else had an almost identical experience as us. Immediately have him call a pediatrician if you show up at the ER with a little one and he’s your doctor.

He has zero people skills...very self absorbed and arrogant.. Gives a smirky dig noise before I even told him my concerns. He pushes the patients buttons to distraught...ready to snap. I would not even take my dog to see him...baby bad person wearing a lab coat.. Ms. Sims

I could not imagine a more through or professional physician. Excellent!!

Kept us waiting all night only for the wrong diagnosis. Told us that our 3 month old son had pneumonia and admitted him. He told us, "Some babies die from this ... sorry." We found out from the pediatrician in the hospital that he only needed to be monitored for oxygen levels, he did not have pneumonia. Gave us the scare of our lives for no reason. Absolutely refuse to ever see this doctor again EVER!!!! If you see him, ask for another doctor ASAP!!!!! He is arrogant and has zero bedside manner. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else if you have to see him in the ER.

Dr. Shaw was attentive to my concerns and asked questions to make sure he knew exactly what was going on with me. He ordered the proper tests as well. He made the terrible experience of visiting an emergency room - better.

He has a poor attitude and was not very polite, he acted like he knew my problem before I even spoke with him which turned out to be wrong at my followup appointment with my PCP.
