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.

When I came home I immediately recommended a relative come see Dr.Shipley for his Neuro eval.

I can't say enough good things about Dr Patricia Shipley. She was professional, yet caring and patient. Dr Shipley was very thorough in my exam, and explained what would be next steps for further diagnostic testing. I would definitely recommend her to others.

45 minutes late for an 8 AM appointment
I waited 6 months to get an appointment with this clinic, then it was rescheduled because a provider had jury duty. The next appointment was another 2 week wait - so 6.5 months waiting. I come in at 7:45 AM for my 8 AM appointment and waited for 45 minutes before talking with a manager. I was this provider's FIRST patient of the day and she was that late??? It couldn't have been because she was behind. This is absolutely unacceptable and shows a total lack of respect for patients and a disregard for their healthcare. You can't call yourself a healthcare provider, if you're not providing healthcare.

We couldn't be happier with the care we are receiving from Dr Shipley. We always feel hopeful after our visits, even when there is nothing new that she can do for us at the time. It's obvious that she cares about her patients and their quality of life. I wish other neurologist shared her passion.

I'm sure Dr. Shipley is incredibly intelligent but needs to realize the average patient is not a neurologist and not familiar with neurological terms. We don't know the names of all the different parts of the brain.
