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.

Excellent care
I went to see Dr. Shih about my hip and knee issues. She provided me with excellent care in managing my pain and difficulty walking. I feel heard.

She is very good technician with ultrasound guided injection. Her poor medical judgement left me at risk of further injury when she, for medically incorrect reasons, refused to treat my knee pain. Here reason was refered to by NIH as an "old wives tale" and also paranoia. She was wrong.

I was having severe back pain and loss of sensation in my legs. My GP said I had nothing wrong, just lose little weight. Dr.Shih checked me, confirmed severe stenosis with test and recommended a terrific surgeon. Now all of my symptoms are gone and I feel 20yrs. younger! She also helped me greatly with knee pain. Perhaps the best Doctor I ever had!

Dr. VIVIAN SHIH - is an excellent doctor. She is intelligent, she listens and responds to your needs. You are never rushed and she takes time with you to understand your problem and helps to manage your pain and provide you with excellent referrals to other Doctors and physical therapy. Dr. Shih has cared for me over the last 8 years and I have made excellent progress and because of her care I feel that I have my life back. I would highly recommend her.
