Without doubt the best Rheumatologist in Canada. He has been treating me for 2 diseases and for over 22 years. He is patient, up to date on the latest, there when called upon and helping keep me alive. His Assistants Cyndi & Carly are a delight to deal with and treat you like a VIP rather than a sick person. Can go on forever about all of them!

I have been a patient of Dr. Shojania’s for several years and am grateful for his thorough and compassionate care. He is highly knowledgeable about my disease and has been managing my symptoms very effectively over the years. I have almost forgotten I have RA. He also takes the time to answer my questions and explain my options. His staff is always very pleasant and helpful as well.

He listened to my symptoms and he examined me carefully and talked me through it all. I felt very reassurred even though I was diagnosed with lupus he said it was going to be OK. I am starting treatment and will go back soon.
