Consulted her in Dr.Aimee and Associates. She found out my Hormone problem. Before I saw so many Doctors, they could not find what is my problem , suffered a lot. Finally she is the one who found out.

If you are looking for compassion-skip this one. You are getting 10-12 minutes tops with her. On my last visit, she literally walked out of the room while I was mid sentence asking her a question regarding my chronic pain disorder. Of my 3 visits with her, two of them I left crying. Having to wait for an appointment for days and then having your doctor dismiss you is very disheartening. It doesn't matter how nice your waitroom staff is if the doctor is cold.

She is almost always right with her diagnosis, which is the most important to me! She is also gentle and kind!

I really like Dr.Shaw. However, now that I have had an emergency I realize the practice she works for is terrible. This medical office does not provide continuity of care. I called in pain and was directed to an emergency room! This is inexcusable! I called my OB/GYN and was transfered immediately to a nurse who listened to my symptoms, spoke to my doctor, told me to come right in. In the 24 years I have gone to my OB/GYN he has NEVER sent me to an emergency room, (unless he escorted me himself). Dr. Shaw, do you know what is going on with your practice?
