Dr. William Shay Jr, MD

Took his time…..not rushed….asked pertinent questions….had answers to all of my questions

Dr Shay has been my primary care doctor for over 10 years. He is always been super helpful and provided great medical treatment and advice. He has a great sense of humor and will spend the amount of time it takes when he sees you. And he's a great tennis player.

His skill level is probably adequate, but down deep, I really don’t think Dr. Shay is a nice person. While his quirkiness can appear to be charming at the outset, there is way too much evidence of unprofessionalism for comfort. Because his frustration tolerance is low, both quality and quantity of care suffers inordinately. I complained to Dr. Shay’s employer Outer Cape Health Services about how he unjustifiably alienated me. Despite what in hindsight were repeated efforts on his part to do so, I was his patient for quite a few years. While I made sure they listened to my substantiated complaints, in the end he apparently was never even reprimanded for what in most any other health clinic setting would have surely been grounds for dismissal. The only possible logical reason that Dr. Shay wanted me to seek care elsewhere was that I asked very good and challenging questions and also that I had multiple serious health conditions. Sadly, I was the only one who suffered from the injustices.

Great doctor, very knowledgeable and gets in depth with anwsers to questions you may have about your condition. Goes out of his way to make sure his patients are doing well. Couldn't ask for a better doctor.

Dr. Shay is is gift to this community. Available, attentive, genuine, professional are four attributes that come immediately to mind. Only negative in that office is the representative from Quest who takes all labs. Gosh, she is just plainly said a MISERABLE human being!!!!!!!!
