I can not say enough good things about the treatment I received from Dr. Shaw.
From my first visit until follow up appointment after surgery he showed kindness, compassion and was very informative about the diagnosis and treatment options. All around a wonderful person and excellent surgeon.

What an amazing human, I can not say enough good about Dr. Shaw. Being diagnosed with a rare form of BC was scary, but he didn’t make me feel scared at all. Dr. Shaw was very informative, answered all the questions without me having to ask one lol. He performed a bilateral mastectomy for me and did what I think was a wonderful job. Was great with follow-up and has always made me feel I could go back with anything I needed without being a bother 🥰 highly recommended him!!!!

Called on time, took the time to carefully explain everything in language I could understand and really listened to my concerns. Turns I don’t need surgery after all but the medication he prescribed fixed me up perfectly. Thank you so much!!!

My consult with Dr Shaw was great. Explained everything and was very kind. The day of my surgery was very different. When he met me in pre-op, he was almost rude, distracted and seemed annoyed that I asked about when I was to see him after my surgery for a follow up and a note for my employer. He sharply told me to see my family Dr if I had any problems and he didn’t need to see me for a follow up. The sick note for my employer was an issue. I realize he may have had a tough day but I was a little nervous going into surgery. My sick note was signed by a different Dr and my pain meds were prescribed by another Dr. What’s up with that?

Today we had another Fantastic experience to see Doctor Shaw again for my wife following up. My wife had surgery about six weeks today. She is so grateful for Doctor Shaw’s amazing surgery. She asked doctor Shaw couple questions about her future examinations and treatments today. My wife felt so comfortable with his huge patience and kindness. Both of couple were born and grew up in China, immigrated Singapore 12 years, then immigrated Canada about 12 years . We never met such a amazing, nice and patient doctors like Doctor Shaw is. We are supper lucky in Grande prairie to have doctor Shaw. Only tons of thanks left in our hearts after every visiting him!!!!

Biography

Dr. Marc Shaw is Canadian Royal College Certified Specialist in General Surgery with a specialized interest in breast surgery. Combined with his additional training, education, and expertise in Oncoplastic Breast Surgery, Dr. Shaw strives to minimize the cosmetic impact of breast cancer surgery. Dr. Shaw's advanced oncoplastic techniques offer immediate physical and emotional benefits to women diagnosed with breast cancer. In his experience, women with breast cancer have the same goals and often the order of their importance is the same: they want the cancer gone and they don't want to have to worry about it coming back but they also don't want a breast that is mutilated or deformed. Next, they want to get back to their life the way it used to be, and finally they don't want to be reminded every day that they had breast cancer. Oncoplastic breast surgery achieves all of these goals by reducing the cosmetic impact of surgery without compromising the need for definitive cancer removal. Having been in practice since 2000, he is proud to live in Grande Prairie, Alberta and to have served the people of Northern Alberta and Northern British Columbia since 2006.
