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.

Breast cancer and need for bilateral mastectomies brought me to Dr. Veronica Shim. I was fortunate to have her guide me through test results, diagnosis, and the final surgery. She doesn’t sugar-coat the facts but is encouraging in predicting outcome. I felt this is a surgeon/doctor I could trust. She’s smart, skilled, compassionate and caring. She’d call after-hours or weekends to give feedback on tests , answer questions or follow up. If you are unfortunate to get breast cancer, you’d be fortunate to have her treating you.
