First time mom and I really appreciate Shimoyama's time, our questions were taken seriously even though they were probably silly worries, and we felt much better after leaving.

Dr. Shimoyama always thinks the best way for us, and her knowledge about the culture and the practice difference of our home country, Japan, is really helpful. She also try to communicate in Japanese to my daughter since she is still learning English as a second language which my daughter can understand and establish relationship.

Wished there would have been more of an intro for a first appointment. Did not feel a lot of empathy with responses.

We have been with Dr Shimoyama for 7 years, she is the best. She is compassion, caring, good listener and just the greatest. She is not only our pediatrician, but she means so much in our family because she takes good care of my children. There should be more doctors like her. She is the best #1!!!

We really like Dr. Shimoyama. After our pediatrician became Chief Med Officer at Tarzana (too badâ?¦ he is a very good pediatrician too) we were looking for a pediatrician for our son. Itâ??s very hard to find a good doctor who you can trust with your childâ?¦ We tried a number of doctorsâ?¦ After Dr. Shimoyama saw our son for the first time, we knew that we found the DOCTOR for him. It was about four years ago. She is a great doctor, we are very happy that we found her.

We really like Dr. Shimoyama :) We were concerned trying to find a pediatrician for our first child... as per a friend's referral, we sought to try Dr. Shimoyama and we really like her. It tool us a little time to get to know her. She is very professional and kind to our now 20 month old. Thank you!!!!
