Andrew Shaw, MD, began practicing in 1994 and is certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology.
"I always had a love for science, so when I
began undergraduate studies, I started as an
architectural engineer. After about two years,
I realized I wanted to go into a profession that
used my interest in science in way I could help
people more directly, so I changed my major to
pre-med.
"My rotations in medical school made it
clear to me that people struggled the most with
some emotional component of their lives -- even
with physical illness -- so I started my journey
into a field that involves helping others come
to terms with the emotional challenges of life."
