First doctor to take my shoulder pain seriously. If you’re a woman I 100% recommend Dr. Shipley, she actually listens to us.

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.
