Expert and Compassionate Care

"Our first visit with Dr. Shuplock was a harrowing experience of unknowns when we first learned more about Laelynn’s special heart. She was able to explain the diagnosis and every possible outcome in a very caring and reassuring way. As the months progressed and we saw Dr. Shuplock and her team (Dr. Amin, Dr. Blanco and Dr. Lee) more often, dread of an unknown outcome quickly gave way to hope. The professionalism alone was something to be much heralded but being able to combine that with their ability to work wonders in ensuring my daughter’s health was truly a godsend." — Brian, Laelynn's Father
