Ewing Shannon, MD

Like a lot of doctors in the North Shore Health system, one must call months in advance to get an appointment. That’s the way it is. I have seen Dr. Ewing several times and I find her thorough and pleasant. She explains things and gives treatment options; and is not patronizing like some doctors. She does not spend one minute of extra time with you, however. That’s just the way it is. When I saw her yesterday, she made sure an appointment was made for my annual while I was there at the office and told me if anything changed with a skin discoloration, to call and she’d fit me in her schedule. I recommend Dr. Ewing.

Held My Daughter’s Medication Hostage!!!
Dr. Ewing is more into the cash than her patients. She did lead us to the perfect acne remedy for my daughter, Acanya. We kept the doctor updated regarding the medication’s success. But after my the prescription ran out and five phone calls requesting a refill and explaining that we’ had had a terrible financial year and a huge deductible, Ewing refused to call in more medication. She insisted that we scheduled another appointment and we had to wait 3 months because she is booked up. My daughter’s acne returned with a vengeance while we waited to see the doctor. Then I had to pay $ 200 to sit in her office so she could hand me the RX I had requested months earlier. This is why health care reform is so critical. Dr Ewing gets the cash and we get screwed.
