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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Shih?
Meticulous, compassionate, humane. Dr. Shih (literally) is willing to "go out of her way" and "go an extra mile" for her patients. I wanted to recognize the fact that she routinely gives my elderly and anxious mother-in-law at least 4 (four) times more than an appointment slot allows. Dr. Shih had taken time away from her own family, on multiple occasions, to do this for an elderly, super-anxious lady without charge.
