Should be zero stars but that wasn’t an option here. Had a phone consult that never happened today.
No call. Left message at office, no return call. As the final dysfunctional occurrence, 10 minutes after the supposed phone consult I received this message to rate the appointment . That never happened. Too bad. I like the people there but I don’t have time for this lack of organization.

Dr. Yen Shipley is consistently kind, personable, caring, and outstanding in her clinical knowledge and best practices for my individual care and concerns. I do not know a more committed physician to the care of people and I mean a doctor who prioritizes human-centered care above all. For this reason, I know in my soul that Dr. Yen Shipley cares about me first and my health---now that's real healthcare!
