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.

Dr Shimomaye has been treating me for several years. She is very skilled at what she does. She made me feel comfortable from the very first visit. I have had multiple MOHS surgeries and I wouldn't want any doctor other than Dr Shimomaye to do the surgeries. She is kind, caring, understanding, and never fails to put a smile on my face. Thank you Dr Shimomaye for always going above and beyond the line of duty. Thank you for taking such good care of me and my family.
