Dr. Shen was my surgeon who performed my sleeve on March 3, 2015. I agree with the reviews, he was an awesome doctor and I would recommend him to anyone. His manner is serious straight forward and initially he was very "matter of fact". He provided me with all the pros and cons, explained all parts of the surgery and what to expect. I had a conversion with the Lap-Band coming out and receiving the sleeve. At my first follow up he cracked a joke, laughed and said I had caused him some more "white hair" with a big smile. He was just awesome!
I would seek him out again, he is great and I would definitely recommend him to anyone for any WLS.
Dr. Shore is an extremely attentive, thorough doctor and I would highly recommend her if you are considering bariatric surgery (or otherwise!) She is a very warm doctor and understands the plight of obesity. She never made me feel embarassed or ashamed of my problem. She also was very supportive of my weightloss during my time in the program. After surgery she checked on me every day and I also had a friend who went through the program too, she said Dr. Shore was very attentive as well.
Also, the program at Lowell General is very thorough, I felt like I was prepared to have the surgery after all of my classes and meetings.
There is really nothing bad I can say about her, I would recommend her to anyone.
Dr Shore did a great job. Answered all my questions, didn't rush me through appointments. When I had my surgery, she kept me in the hospital an extra 2 days to make sure I was well enough to go home. I couldn't drink and I was experiencing extreme nausea. She kept me on a IV with plenty of pain meds to make sure I was comfortable and well. She has an excellent bedside manner. My scars are small and are healing nicely. She also sent me home with plenty of pain meds and anti-nausea medication.

Dr. Shore is very nice, caring. She listens to what you have to say! I met with Dr. Shore before & after the surgery & the next day. She made time to answer my questions & made me feel okay with the choices I made. She assured me what I was feeling was quite normal.rnI would recommend Dr. Shore to anyone!
My very first impression of Dr. Shen was that he was very task oriented. He was very willing to answer any questions after his explanations of the procedure he is doing for you. I also initially found him to be quite stoic with very little sense of humor but that was fine with me especially given it was my initial consult with him. Follow-ups with Dr. Shen proved to me that he was very thorough, caring and indeed have a sense of humor! I actually got him to crack a smile one time much to my surprise...His office staff at Emerson was caring and kind. They really went out of their way to see that all my needs were met. Though I felt at times that I may not be meeting the \"specified\" percentage of weight loss post-op. Perhaps it was me and that I felt that somehow my slower weight loss was in a way effecting the programs statistics in a negative way and I kind of strayed away from really opening up to them about a lot of the post-op problems I was having. But truly all in all I felt cared about and enjoyed my office visits very much. Dr. Shen was very quiet and very linical. He really didn't ask me a whole lot of questions about anything at my follow-ups really...pain, vomiting, weakness...he would come in feel around my belly, document his findings and send me on my way. He always seemed pleased with my weight loss progress even though I was not. rnThe NP on staff really was the one who examined me before all my appointments with Dr. Shen. She spent time checking me out and answering any of my questions. I do wish Dr. Shen would have asked me more questions at my appointments himself given how nervous I was each time we met and all rational thoughts would just fall right out my ears! I found Dr. Shen to be very specific about the risks of surgery...clear, concise and even graphic...I appreciated that. Overall I would rate Dr. Shen a fine bariatric surgeon. I found his surgical competence outstanding and his bedside manner very uncluttered, polite and in as I said previously my opinion stoic. If I was to do it all over again I'd seek out his expertise.
I first saw Dr. Shen at the info session in August 2008 and I immediately got good vibes from him. Roy Shen is a very quiet and soft spoken man who is extremely knowledgable about bariatric surgery. He was very patient with my questions and very thorough in his explanations, ensuring that I understood every piece of every process. The morning of surgery he really tried to put me at ease and while he maintained his professionalism at all times, I started to see a more \"personal\" side to him- he made me feel like he personally cared (I wasn't just a patient to 'work on'). Post operatively his continued support, encouragement and praise made me feel like I was doing really well I would highly recommend Roy Shen as a bariatric surgeon to anyone!!
Dr. Shore was great during my first meeting with her. She went over everything and was very supportive.
Dr. Shore was extremely caring, calming, and knowledgable. She took the time to make sure I understood and was completely comfortable with my procedure as a whole. She made sure to answer any and all questions without any hesitation. She took the time to review all aspects of the procedure from pre op to post op. What I should expect what I should be concerned about and everything in between. I would strongly recommend her to any person who is considering this procedure. They say no negatives makes your assesment to seem less believable but I truly don't have any complaints about the way I was treated by Dr. Shore.
