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.

Dismissive and Condescending
I had a horrible allergic reaction and needed to go to the ER. After that they and my doctor told me to go to an allergist and get tested to see what could have caused it. He was very dismissive and refused to do any testing on me even though I’ve been tested before for common allergies. He didn’t even see me for ten minutes before sending me home and saying not to call again until I have another reaction. He talked to me as if I can’t have a say in anything because he’s the professional here and dismissed anything I said.

SOL
I have CVID and need IVIG monthly. He told me that I can take the shingles shot even though it's a live vaccine. Totally not! and when I needed to find a new place for my infusions, he told me that I was SOL, which I didn't know what that meant at the time. So unprofessional !

After determining I was doing well regarding my asthma, etc., Dr. Shen even addressed my newer issue of hand pain. I am impressed with his demeanor and level of care.

Dr. Shen is very quick but knows what he is doing. I have no issues there, but The nurse in the Leesburg office (not sure on her name ) is very unprofessional. She seems like she doesn’t want to be there. There seems to be a lot of turn around at that office.

Dr. Shen is awesome. We were very lucky to have found him when we moved here to The Villages. The entire staff is great. They are friendly, professional and are always polite and helpful. Very sensitive to our concerns.

Not only does he not know what he is talking about, he also doesn't respect the parents' concerns and questions. Had I listened to this doctor, my son would've been in far worse problems than when we went to see him. When I asked him his opinion on using an alternative to his suggestion, he dismissed it rudely. We never went back.

Zero bedside manor, rude, uncaring, uninterested in my problem, poor inexperienced front office staff. Would not take my dog to him. Avoid him, there are other more caring doctors here especially if you are taking a child to him.

Rude, disrespectful and did not even listen to my story. Kept interrupting me while I was discribing my illness... Kept telling me that's not what I need to hear tell me your symptoms that's not what I need to hear what exactly happened to you I felt like an idiot I went to see him for severe, chronic, at-risk dust mite allergy and he wanted to test me for my breathing. Please don't go there save yourself a favor the man is rude arrogant and just not nice

My son has had a severe allergy to milk all his life Dr. Shen is the only allergist who didn't treat us like idiots. He is respectful and knows what he is doing. He will be my son's allergist for life.
