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.

Very angry and out of control “doctor”
Here is the shortened version of our “horror story visit”On November 27th, 2024 my husband, our son and, our daughter walked into the Salud clinic on 64 Aspen way, Watsonville Ca. We expressed how we would like to wait until our daughters 1 year mark to consider vaccination. there was a forced push to the door being open…In comes an older lady with her head down, “Hello!” I say. The doctor walks passed us and to her computer and started loudly saying “well you missed every vaccine that she would ever need and she didn’t get her blood drawn today so we have that to do and she will be doing that! and we have a lot of catching up to do let me tell you! We have a lot to do today! How selfish of you! How dumb! - Do you realize that this is the equivalent of you driving on the freeway with your baby out of the car seat and guess what?! A bus comes flying and hits your car and she goes flying through your window and dies on the road!” We are in the process of speaking to her supervisor.

I did not like my experience she did not explain to me about ADHD she did not bother to help with any therapy she just kept pushing for medicine I do not think that is right all Dr should give information and help parents on how to help a patient but we got nothing from Dr. Shaw I do not recommend her I am having to find information and help on the internet or anything that can help to understand ADHD.

Was not informative. When asked if we were excited about new mile stones. Told her baby knows her name at 3 months. Responds "even dogs know their names"

Dr. Shaw is so knowledgeable and experienced. She’s an excellent diagnostician. And although she may come across as slightly odd, she’s extremely empathetic and kind. I trust her completely to care for my children’s health.
