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.

Excellent pediatrician
Dr. Shipsky was very kind and knowledgeable when she treated my granddaughter. She put us all at ease, took her time and answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Shipsky always seems to rush through a visit. It's her way or no way. I am very educated and don't need to be treated as someone who is not. Maybe she was just having bad days when I was there with my son.

My Husband and I met Dr. Lori Shipsky a few years ago . She is an amazing Dr. Kind , caring . Takes her time to sit with you and make sure every question you have is answered no question is a silly question. She has made my Husband and I confident parents . We are 100% comfortable with her and trust her . Our kids love her. The office is great and always gets us right in.

I cannot say enough about Dr Shipsky. I have a toddler & a teenager and she goes above & beyond for both of them. Dr Shipsky is our 3rd pediatrician, & my only regret is that she didn't take care of my kids from the beginning. I myself am in healthcare and have worked/interacted with many providers. I can say with complete confidence that she is one of the best and highly recommend her. She is knowledgeable and compassionate. There are just no words to express how amazing she is.

Switched to Dr. Shipsky 3 years ago when my son had a continuous cough and prior doc was not giving us answers just steroids, Dr. Shipsky gave us a diagnosis/treatment and relief for my son. She is very caring and will sit down and discuss issues with her patients. She is open to listening to thoughts from parents and looking eye to eye and understanding parents/children.

Met with Dr. Shipsky before our son was born and have been going to her for 4 years now. We moved 25 miles away and continued to go to her. We think she is very understanding, thorough, and answers any questions we have.

I ask questions. I do t just give my children medications without knowing why they need them in the first place. I am a nurse working on my master's. Therefor, I would say I have at least a little underlying knowledge. I also recall that her patients and MY children and I may ask any questions and refuse anything I want. Dr shipsky seems to forget that I need to know reasonings behind her prescription choices without giving attitude back in response.
