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.

Damaging Experience
I saw Dr. Shpats as a patient years ago...and I still carry the trauma of what I experienced under her 'care' to the point where I still think about it to this day. I have never had such a callous experience with a doctor. I went in for a Well Women's exam, one of the most vulnerable positions you can put yourself in as a female patient, and she was dismissive and degrading the whole time. The poor nurse who was with me was so nice, trying so hard to make me comfortable and be sweet. I even heard Dr. Shpats and the nurse arguing in the hall outside my room about me at one point. Before I left, Dr. Shpats handed me a pamphlet telling me that I was obese. Overall, a humiliating, traumatic experience that shook a lot of trust I had in doctors and did far more harm than good for me as a patient.

She is extremely argumentative and does not listen to her patient. It does not matter what you know about your body and how your conditions effect it, she diagnoses without examination or testing and provides no options for relief from symptoms. She claims test results will only be sent in the mail in 7-10 days or if you make another appointment with her before then. Never going back to her again. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

She is by far the worst physician I have ever met. She talked to me for a total of 5 min my last visit (after an hour of waiting). She even prescribed me birth control without doing a standard pregnancy test. She just wants your money and doesn't care about your health. I would never wish her 'Care' on anyone. She is always the only readily available physician for appointments in the clinic and now I unfortunately know why. I hope someone heeds all the reviews posted. They are REAL facts about t
