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.

My father had a massive heart attack many years ago. Dr. Shih has been taking care of my father ever since. He spends an hour with us every visit and is never rushed. We get all our questions answered.

I had the displeasure of having Dr. Shih on his inpatient rotation at tufts a handful of times. Nurses, staff and patients alike dread when it is his rotation. He has a bad track record of disregarding information coming from the patients and jumping to the most likely conclusion. My own health and safety had been put at risk multiple times by him to the degree I would rather switch my entire hospital and team of 15 years to get away from him. He is negligent. There isn't another word. He approaches every situation as though they are the same, not every patient is his sister and he needs to learn to leave his baggage at the door so he cqn have a clear head.

Doesn't listen. If you disagree with him he becomes indignant. Wouldn't recommend him.
