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.

I have been seeing Dr. Shaw for around 20 years. He is compassionate and takes the time to listen and make suggestions. I highly recommend him.

I didn’t find him to be helpful at all. He was covering for another doctor in the practice when my abnormal lab results came in. He basically called me to tell me that my lab tests were abnormal and he didn’t know how to interpret them. He told me to call my PCP and have them interpret them even though they were labs ordered by his practice. He said he would send them to my PCP and never did. I found him to be unprofessional and arrogant on the phone.

Dr. Shaw has many years of experience, but I found him to be very noncommittal in his discussions of the issue(s). For me, my experience was difficult.

I have found Dr. Shaw to not only be brilliant in his field but caring and compassionate as well... He remembers that he's dealing with humans who are more than just patients...
