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.

No bad experiences, only good ones. My care provider and staff all do an exceptional job. Thank you all!!

Dr. Iles-Shih is the best doctor ever. She is so compassionate, thorough, and knowledgeable. She anticipated and answered all my questions. She spent plenty of time with me and I felt like she wanted to listen and provide the best care possible. She also is extremely kind to me and my other family members who see her, and always remembers details about our lives and asks about how the others are doing, which is so sweet. I'm so grateful for her!

Such better care than my last two GI doctors. Really listens and takes the time to explain how to plan for the future and the goal of meds.

Dr Lulu is THE BEST, but she is busy and I know that it is sometimes difficult to reach her in the time frame I want. I consider that part of having an excellent doctor. Her time is limited and I deal with it!

She honestly cares about her patients
After being diagnosed with UC at 18 (now 44). It took me years and many GI doctors to find Dr Iles Shih. I have been her patient now for probably about 15 years. She was so different from all the other GI doctors I had seen. She has more than one time went above and beyond as a doctor. She listens and treats me with dignity and respect. She doesn't talk at me like some doctors but talks with me to help figure out what the best way to treat my current condition. She is warm, kind and truly cares about her patients. All I can say is if you are lucky enough to have her as your doctor you will not ever look for a different doctor because you will have found the best in the GI field.

I chose my insurance provider on the ability to continue seeing Dr. Iles-Shih. I appreciate everything about how she cares for me and my chronic condition. It's been frustrating for me to deal with my condition and she has been very kind, caring, and compassionate, as well as helpful in improving my quality of life.

Top quality care!
I am so blessed to have found Dr. Iles-Shih! I’ve been under her care for just over a year now. She is probably one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever met. Her and her team are caring and attentive. Communication is always timely and clear. 100% recommend!

My video visit with Dr. Iles-Shih was perfect. She explained my results clearly and answered my questions. She understood my needs and preferences and took those into account as she gave me a recommendation for next steps. I particularly like that she did a cost-benefit analysis when explaining potential treatments, i.e., she took into account the potential costs (negative side-effects) of the treatments in addition to the benefits for someone in my specific situation and with my specific test results.
