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.

The best around, by far
Dr. Shipman is the most caring, empathetic and knowledgeable doctor I’ve had the pleasure to be under the care of.

Dr. Shipman
Going to a gynecologist is never pleasant, but Dr Shipman makes it much easier. She’s compassionate and caring. She listens to your concerns and takes time to answer questions. She makes sure you’re involved in the decision making and both of you are comfortable with the treatment plan if needed.

Dr Shipman was kind and compassionate as she asked me how I was doing as well as asked about my mom who is very ill. She then gave me some suggestions to help me deal with the stress I am dealing with. She offered to give me a referral for self care opportunities. Knowing what I was going through, she hugged me at the door of my visit. I felt heard and cared for.

I highly recommend Dr. Shipman
Dr. Shipman is a caring doctor and takes time to listen to what has been happening to you since your last visit and discuss any concerns you currently have. I feel comfortable to discuss any concern regardless of the subject. She never rushes through your appointment. She is always making sure you have gone over all of your questions with her before ending the appointment.

I am thankful my previous OBGYN referred me to Molly when she retired. I could not ask for a more knowledgeable sweet and kind individual who truly cares about her patients. Molly is very thorough and takes time to know her patients. My PCP told me she is a very smart lady and I couldn’t be more pleased with having her on my Team. When she moved from Waterbury to Hartford I was disappointed but it’s worth the trip every year.
