Dr. Murray Shames, MD

My husband had a repair of an abdominal aneurysm and 2 aneurysms in his leg and Dr. Shames took the time to explain clearly the problem, what he needed to do, why, and the probable outcome, which was very successful.

I found Dr. Shames to be very unprepared on telconfrance. I found his office did not follow up on obtaining my records and test results before my appointment. As I would be traveling 2 hours to see this Dr. Had I not called to verify all records and images need were not recived, I would have wasted a trip . Very disappointed in this Drs office unprofessional actions. After waiting two months for this appointment with an 80% blocked aorta and a dead kidney due to the blockage.

Quick, courteous, good humor (humour) and good results.

Dr Shames is a miracle worker. He saved my Mom’s life during a complicated surgery. He followed up with consistency and was a great teacher to his students. He cares very much and is extraordinarily talented.

Had vein removal in both legs. Dr. Shames was a gem. Thorough, complete and caring. Legs look great. His team was supportive and professional. He even covered my $23 bill I had from TG.

Dr. Murray Shames performed a dangerous & extremely difficult surgery on my brother at TGH January 16th 2018..He removed a leaking abdominal aortic stent graft he put in around 2011...The surgery failed as 3 days later my brother had peritonitis due to a fissure in the intestinal area that wasn’t repaired during initial surgery on January 16th 2018. My brother died after 32 days in icu & 1.2 mil $ in med. bills. The dr said my brother died because he wanted to. Stay away from dr. shames please

Does not show any care about patient.

To be clear let me state that despite having a scheduled, confirmed, new patient appointment; one that I had appropriate medical records transferred to his office for and that I was on time for, Dr. Shames was not present in any capacity to participate in the experience I had at his office. This is, in fact, why I gave him one star. I was pawned off onto a less educated Assistant-whatever who was no doubt, an RN, overconfident in opinions,skill and no value to a patient in need of a surgeon!

This man is a butcher! He has ZERO compassion and could care less about the pain and suffering his incompetence has caused. He performed a femoral artery bypass last year and it left me with horrible scars damaged nerves - constant pain - badly swolen ankle ( only AFTER the surgery) The surgical wound too MONTHS to heal - not just a few weeks. I had to take weeks of physical thearapy to learn how to walk again. The pain and suffering made open heart surgery look like bruised ankle. HORRIBLE

Dr. shames did my vascular vein leg surgery on December 11, 2015 He was Excellent and surgery went Great! My lower leg looks great...what a difference!
