Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Doctor — Fantastic Human
I’ve been seeing Dr Shams for cancer treatment for several years and she’s a great doctor. While I appreciate her impressive medical skill I very much appreciate her bedside manner and empathy when needed, and her warm human side.

Wrong personality for working in medicine
This was a nightmare. I would never suggest her to anyone. Her bedside manner is the worst. I finally had to stop going and find someone else.

Dr. Sham and her entire staff (including the people at the front desk), made me feel as though I was the most important client during that appointment. All of my questions and questions from my daughters were answered in ways that we understood. My services were never rushed. I would definitely recommend Dr. Sham to anyone that needed the type of services that were so professionally given to me. I truly feel blessed to have been recommended to Dr. Sham by my very capable and outstanding surgeon.

She was very helpful and offered several options for future follow-up visits. Very friendly and pleasant. Not in a rush to get to the next patient. Asked if I had any questions or concerns. Treated me like I was part of her family.
