Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Uniquely compassionate
Dr Shaw has been my psychiatrist for 15 yrs, during my PTSD years and beyond. He’s so empathetic, calm, reassuring and truly works to find the correct meds to help me. I’ve found few doctors with his level of caring, knowledge and expertise, and I’m in a healthcare field!

Good guy. I wish he was still seeing folks in the office, but what can you do... COVID-19 has wrecked a bunch of businesses in the area.

This is an updated review. David Shaw continues to display empathy, skill and kindness and friendliness. I simply could not reccomend a physician more highly. He is not anywhere near the average psychiatrist, he is far superior. Absolutely excellent. His office assistant, Janet, is sweet and super helpful, which is a welcome addition, as well. Outstanding psychiatrist and person.

Dr. Shaw has been my psychiatrist for over five years. I’d like to echo what other reviewers have already stated—Dr. Shaw is kind, considerate, genuinely interested in getting to know you, flexible, open-minded and, most of all, knowledgeable. He doesn’t have a one-size-fits-all approach to psychiatry (i.e. if a treatment regime is working, stay with it). Hands down, he’s the best physician (let alone psychiatrist) that I’ve ever seen. He’s earns an A+ in my book.

Dr. Shaw is a warm and kind man. His calm and thoughtful demeanor is a huge improvement from the "highly recommended" psychiatrist we were referred to in the past. Even though he was not accepting new patients, he was willing to see our son. I cannot speak more highly of Dr. Shaw. We appreciate him and how carefully he considered medications to ensure our son had what worked best for him. Because of Dr. Shaw's high quality of care, our son has had a huge improvement in quality of life.

Dr Shaw is caring and supportive, knowledgeable, genuine and very easy to talk to. He understands chronic pain and what that means to a person who is suffering from it and really helps me to better understand and cope with life.
