“Office: The office is very clean and welcoming. The waiting room is spacious, and the chairs are comfortable. I’ve been to the office several times, each time with varying amounts of patients in the waiting room; from a few patients, to many, and the wait times were always very minimal.
Staff: Everyone is warm, friendly, and makes a real effort to help patients feel comfortable. I especially appreciate that they’re willing to have a conversation with you, which means a lot for anyone who tends to feel anxious.
Practitioner: Dr. Shum is kind, compassionate, attentive, brilliant, humorous, curious, and engaging. She takes her time with her patients and never makes you feel rushed or unheard. What stands out most to me is how her curiosity drives her diagnostic process. It’s genuinely enlightening to watch how her line of questioning evolves into a clear and purposeful direction.
I’m very thankful to have met Dr. Shum. All of my concerns were addressed, and I can say with confidence that if I ever need neurological care again, she will be the first doctor I call.”via Google Business Profile ~ April 2026

“Such an awesome doctor and PA staff! I'm thrilled with all the medical care I receive at this location. After going through three different neurologists in my life who couldn't figure out how to continue the correct migraine medication prescription for me, I was not only able to resolve that issue with this office, but receive attentive and state of the art modern testing to ensure that there aren't bigger issues happening with my migraines and neurological symptoms. I'm happy to take my family here as well. Thank you!”

“As an adult man in his mid 70's I have had my share of medical experiences. N.Y. Neurocare, on 20th Ave in Brooklyn is a rare find in this day and age. From the moment you enter the office is clean, modern and professional with no less than three individuals at reception to take your information. Upon my initial visit Dr.Shum was attentive and thorough. She scheduled me for a MRI and two EMG tests. The Tech that performed the EMG in the office , I believe her name was Tracy, was pleasant and skilled to the point of giving me a level of comfort, informative and pleasant , again a rare trait in this day and age. In a few weeks I am scheduled for a follow up visits to discuss the prognosis and plan of treatment. This is the absolute way a medical practice should be. Once again a notable experience !!!”

“Dr. Shum provides compassionate, patient-centered care and takes the time to explain diagnoses which may be difficult for regular folks to understand. Her ability to communicate across languages is incredibly helpful, preventing important information from being lost in translation.
Her assistant, Ken, is friendly and empathetic with family members, which is greatly appreciated. Office staff Jayden and Min, among others, are quick to address issues over the phone and always provide a thorough follow up.”via Google Business Profile ~ September 2025

“Dr. Shum has been the beginning to 'THE ANSWER' to all my medical riddles! Dr. Shum took me on when I didn't know where else to go! Before meeting her, My Forever Neurologist, I was bedridden! I SUFFERRED DEBILITATING MIGRAINES AMONST OTHER TYPES. On the Very First Visit, she started me on an injection with breakthrough medications that allowed us to get in control of them. Then we able to move forward on all else🙏🏻 I'm a 2-time neurosurgical patient years before finding her. So, because of these major surgeries, I began suffering later on long term after effect. Not only does she listen to you & treats you not as a patient, but her patient!! She's relentless when it comes to figuring out what your ailments are & treating them appropriately until she finds what works for you. She also left nothing out & in being sure every medical test is done safely & efficiently to have all answers 🙏🏻 She also set me up with multiple much needed referrals & with no regrets, Every single one she sent me forth on also became part of my team!! All from physical therapy to pain management & many in between!! SHE'S BEEN A SAVIOR TO ME & MUCH MORE🙏🏻 Even my husband saw how Amazing she was & he is also now a LOYAL patient for life! I will Not forget Michele Twitto that I found to known her prior from my neurosurgeons & happily ended up seeing her!! She's Dr. Florence Shums right hand. We both are forever endeavor to you for ALWAYS BEING THERE FOR US ❤️🙏🏻
LAST & NOT LEAST, her beautiful staff she has, they're a blessing to it all :)) My husband & I will be with you to the end🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank You from the bottom of our hearts!! Suzanne & Melvin”via Google Business Profile ~ July 2025

When I arrived for my first visit, the office was so beautifully kept and inviting. The front desk staff are all so pleasant and welcoming.

She also ensured that I knew what to expect for the rest of my visits. The young lady who did my tests was so personable and made sure I was comfortable. When I met Dr. Shum, I finally understood why I was impressed by this office. As the leader of the office, she exudes such professionalism that I know passes down to her staff. Ny Neuro Care has definitely gained my respect in every aspect. I am so blessed to have found them and look forward to their continued impeccable service!”

“About 5 years ago, I had to go into disability due to migraines that affected my daily activities. Dr. Shum literally has been a life savior to living my life with my family, friends and co-workers. Without the solution she came up with, it would of been impossible to live my life. She was very attentive, friendly, and also she took the time to figure out my individual symptoms. She went out of her way to help me so that I can live my life. I have been with her for 5+ years, and have never thought about switching to any other doctor. As far as I'm concerned, she's a miracle worker. I don't say that likely, I say that with conviction. She took the time to prioritize my individual needs.

“She's amazing. I saw 2 other neurologists prior to her who did not offer me solutions for my chronic migraines at all or have any ideas to help me. It was really a huge let down with those doctors. She was different immediately and thorough. She offered ideas and solutions. And they have worked well. I'm not migraine free which is understandable but I have noticed a really good decrease in frequency. She listens and most importantly for me she had solutions! We started botox for migraines and it helped a lot and she wanted to try different medications so I would have a back up medication just in case instead of only being able to rely on the one that works for me since I sometimes run out during a month. I am very happy to have found her.”
