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.

Dr. Shearer went above and beyond during my pregnancy, delivery & post OP. I highly recommend her <3

My wife’s experience was absolutely terrible. The main things were that I could tell the nurses seemed scared to have to "bother" her with any questions or to just let her know she was ready to push. It was the middle of the night- but babies don't wait- it's just the nature of the job so to seem annoyed was ridiculous. She acted entitled and powerful the whole time. My wife was also pushing for over 3 hours and she didn't seem to care to come see if there was anything wrong or to just reassure me her was okay. When we finally had our baby(she didn’t come in until the last minute), she completely ruined the special moment my wife was having with our baby- and really for me as well. My wife was feeling her stitching (since her epidural had worn off) and wincing from the pain and she actually angrily stood up and said she couldn't do this anymore and had a nurse finish the stitches. I would have rather had the kind nurses deliver the baby, and my wife feels the same- they were great an

I fully trust Dr.Shearer with my care. She has always taken time to listen and address my concerns. She takes time to explain things to me and discuss options for my care. I would highly recommend her.
