Patient Reviews

Overall patient rating for Tricia A Shimer:

Pellets (Hormone Therapy)

Dr Shimer is always amazing. She always makes me feel good. Also, the woman who draws blood is the only person I’ve ever had who could find my veins the first time. You will love Dr Shimer and her staff more than you’ve ever loved a doctor before. They will listen and take such great care of you.

I have nothing but great things lto say about Dr. Shimer. She always gives you 100% of her attention. I never feel rushed. I respect her opinion, her knowledge and her recommendations for treatments and any changes in lifestyle. My only concern is with the nurse that I usually interact with. She seems to be absentminded many times. This time she forgot to collect my payment for the pellet treatment which isn't a big deal but just inconvenient. I didn't see her around after I got dressed so I just left, figuring I'd be billed or she would call later. She was asking if my dosage was changed on my last pellet treatment, which I thought it was but shouldn't that be in the system? I would trust what is in the system over my memory of what happened 4 months ago! It made me wonder if the system had been updated last time. I trust Dr. Shimer 100% but I'm not as confident in the support staff, particularly Twylla. It's not the first time I've had issues where prescriptions were sent to the wrong pharmacy [we moved a few times in the last couple of years], I was asked questions on my hormonal prescriptions when all the information should be in the system, etc.

Excellent Staff and Super friendly... Blood drawn on my last visit and as usual, smooth, quick and painless for me. Dr. Tricia Shimer is Simply The Best! A Sweetheart! Shes very easy to talk, Super Smart, genuinely kind and always in the best mood. She delivered my son 21 years ago in McKinney and I've been a patient ever since. I don't know what I'd do without her, she's truly a blessing for me.

Dr Shimer is amazing. She listens and is knowledgeable. She easily connects with people and is overall good at what she does. It’s unfortunate that her staff is not amazing. The front office area is impersonal and her nurse is not a good fit. She talks too much and is forgetful and scatterbrained. I wish I could meet with my doctor without the nurse in ther.

Dr. Shimer went over several things during my appointment. She assessed my re-ocurring cyst, did my annual pap smear, and got my blood work done for my Thyroid. I didn't feel rushed and she listened to all of my concerns.

I received what I went for. I had an encouraging conversation with Dr Shimer. I moved to Central TX since my last office visit with Dr Shimer. I'm glad I didn't change Drs. She's worth the drive.
