Arrived for appointment on time and was seen on time. The exam was quick but done different than the first exam I had the previously year. Maybe no more swabbing of the specimen of tissue or secretion.

Staffs treatment of patients is excellent.

Blood Draw

I absolutely love Dr. Shimer and her practice—she is wonderful and truly caring. However, I’ve had a less positive experience with the person who draws blood. Unfortunately, my last visit was quite painful, and her demeanor felt unfriendly. I still highly recommend the practice overall, but I do hope the experience with lab work improves.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Because I'm treated like family here. I love the doctor, her staff, everything about this office. Dr Shimer made me feel so valuable during a period where I'm facing sadness and isolation. She said the energy and vibe I have doesn't deserve to be hidden, wasted, and gave me advice on ideas to consider to free myself of the sadness and isolation, which I'm definitely going to work on. Her words have stayed with me since my visit.

Gynecological Problem Visit

Had a concern about a discharge I’m having and although I was tested was told it was not positive for anything. There was no discussion on how to handle it. As I frequently have BV issues. I felt my concern was dismissed.

Blood Draw

The lady who draws blood is really terrible. It is always painful. About 50% of the time I end up with a big bruise. She has zero "bedside manner". I get blood drawn a lot for a variety of reasons and she is, by far, the worst.
