As a member of our OHC physician team, Dr. Shaughnessy has full access to the award-winning OHC Clinical Trial research program.

We encourage our patients to discuss all of their healthcare options — including Clinical Trial research programs — with their doctor.

The following are recent reviews provided by actual OHC patients:

“The doctor was extremely personable and presented the facts and options available for my disease. The nurse was so kind and caring.”

“Doctor’s very caring. Gave me time to discuss my concerns and answer questions I may have. Their guidance and advice is important to me. They make me feel like an individual instead of part of a ‘routine’ treatment plan.”

“EVERYONE HAS BEEN GREAT!”
