WHAT PATIENTS ARE SAYING

Angele Licari

“When you visit Dr Shehan for a medical consultation, you are not just meeting your GP. He is far more than all the fields he has studied and mastered. Dr shehan has the ability to really understand the patient’s situation and perspective, both physically and emotionally. He listens deeply, with no judgement, and makes me feel validated with my troubles and suffering . His empathy and presence, helps me feel relaxed and safe in the hands of a caring professional. When he offers his medical opinion, he also takes into consideration my own opinion or contribution towards my medical history without dismissing any of my own interpretation or diagnosis. I admire his holistic approach towards my wellbeing. I leave the consult feeling valued as a patient and a person. As a psychotherapist, I am selective as to whose hands I trust my life’s health into! I do believe that Dr Shehan is our future example of how to approach the medical field. .”

“I met Dr Shehan in Spring of 2023 after being sick for over a year and doctors were unable to diagnose what was wrong or dismissed me completely. A friend of mine also referred me to him. She said, and I can vouch for this, that he’s different as he combines various approaches besides having sound knowledge of Western Medicine . He acknowledges one’s situation after careful review and examination and offers a more holistic approach to curing difficult medical cases. I have nothing but praise for him and will certainly see him again to discuss the way forward. “

R Caruana

I really can recommend Dr Shehan as a he is knowledgeable on both western and holistic medicine. He looks for the root cause of an illness and takes his patients seriously. He has a background in Ayurveda and Acupuncture, Chakras and Acupressure points and tries as much as possible to avoid pills and drugs that affect the body mind connection. During my visit at his clinic, he took interest in my life history, lifestyle and diet and how to deal with my skin allergies which could be connected to digestive issues. He is smart and very gentle as a doctor and is very conscious on a- physical, cognitive, emotional, psychological level. He is very open-minded on certain advanced bioelectrical frequency therapies and certain allergy blood testing procedures.

Dear Dr. Shehan- Although I came to you in great pain and distress , I was immediately comforted by your professional and caring manner in which you carefully listened to me, clinically examined me and then offered options for relief- explaining in detail the reasoning behind your recommendations. I appreciated so very much your wife knowledge and support for the deft use of both allopathic and natural (specifically, Ayurvedic) herbal medicines and remedies. The herbs you recommended were easy to prepare in a “shake” and palatable to ingest. I credit my feeling so much better to your broad knowledge in medicines, your kind and patient attention to my complaints and your wise choice of a remedy especially suited to my needs. Thankyou!

Dr. Shehan was recommended to me when no other doctor I’d seen could help with my strange symptoms. He listened intently to how I felt and took me seriously, which I found empowering and very reassuring. His unique blend of Eastern and Western expertise gives him the ability and insight to tackle problems from many angles, which I have found to be impressive and effective.

Angele Licari , Psychotherapist

I am so grateful to have met Dr. Shehan, finally the doctor I had been looking for!
Dr. Shehan has a wealth of knowledge and includes his knowledge from other health care systems like Chinese Medicine & Ayurveda which he applies in his profession. And something that really stands out about him is that he is still very humble and always open to listen to all that the patient has to say and to explore different possibilities and modalities for healing. He makes the patient to feel really comfortable to speak their mind and worries and there is not judgment but lots of encouragement which immediately instils hope in the patient which has a great impact on healing itself. Dr. Shehan knows what to ask the patient in front of him so that he can get the whole picture. He takes his time to look beyond the symptoms and any results and is willing to look at the person as a whole, to be able to find the cause of the issue to arrive to the best treatment in order to assist the person to heal.
Many times a bunch of symptoms seemingly unrelated would have a common cause that may not be so obvious or something regarded as “normal “ and is usually completely dismissed. Dr.Shehan is ready to go deep & look at this and not just dump you a medicine for the symptom which unfortunately many times does not treat the real problem. It‘s like putting it under the carpet; on the surface it seems clear when in fact it is not. This I feel is very lacking in our health care systems today, and Dr. Shehan is one doctor that embraces this philosophy with much love and dedication to treat the person as a whole and assist everyone who comes to him on their journey of true healing.
Thank you Doctor Shehan for being the doctor that you are. We need more doctors like you.

Psychologist

Under the expert guidance of Dr. Shehan, I’ve undergone a transformative inner journey that has birthed a new version of myself. Together, we delved into deep-seated fears and self-limiting beliefs ingrained since childhood, paving the way for a fuller sense of self. I now embrace life and love with newfound freedom, confidence, and openness. The unfolding of life’s bounties is already evident, and I eagerly anticipate the continued journey ahead. Dr. Shehan’s attention to detail, intuitive approach, genuine care, and professional skill make this one of the most life-changing embodied healing experiences. I am profoundly grateful and highly recommend it to anyone seeking to address the roots of trauma and liberate themselves once and for all 🙏✨

How can the holistic health approach help you?

At Dr. Shehan's clinic, we offer a holistic approach to addressing your symptoms and improving your overall health and wellbeing. We treat each patient as a whole, taking into account your physical and psychological state.

In order to get the best results, during the first consultation, Dr. Shehan will take a full history of your wellbeing, your personal history, your family history, and any treatment you might be on.

Addressing imbalances as the cause of your concern(s), making changes in your lifestyle (nutrition, meditation, changing habits, thoughts, and emotions), taking only the very necessary drugs, and substituting chemical medicines for more natural medicines (with much fewer side effects) whenever possible are the main aspects of getting the best results. Why should you use conventional medicine alone when you can benefit from a natural approach to illness (combination of conventional medicine and complementary therapies) designed and adapted to your individual needs for optimal wellness?
