We called for an urgent appointment because my 2 year old was having rapid breathing and a nasty cough. We were able to get an appointment an hour later. The care was fantastic and she was feeling much better a few days later. Thank you!

Dr. Shim is so incredibly knowledgeable and professional. I trust her implicitly. She goes out of her way to follow up, learn the true ailment impacting my kids and she is all around a nice, genuine, caring and loving human. She is the best.

Dr. Shim is the pediatrician for all three of my kids, and I wouldn't have it any other way. She is so caring, kind, compassionate, and my family and I are so grateful for all the care she has provided to my kids. She has been there for my kids for routine wellness checkups and for acute illnesses, and goes above and beyond for my kids. My kids love her, and my eldest toddler will wear her doctor kit and pretend to play doctor at home. She is truly the best and love having her as our pediatrician. We don't live close, but we're willing to make the drive to come see her. Thank you Dr. Shim!

Dr. Shim is amazing and the only reason I go to this practice is because of her. It is obvious that doing a good job is important to her and that this work is a labor of love. She is not interested in being "strong but wrong" but is always interested in doing the right thing. I suggest that all people be careful of providers that have an ego and would rather be right then say they do not know.
