    Dr. Shi has always been very pleasant and courteous, always asks questions, and always explains everything very thoroughly. I appreciate her, and I think that I'm getting the best treatment I can because she's willing to give me new medications or tell me what else the new products that are, new prescriptions or treatments that are available. So I'm very satisfied with Dr. Shi, and I would recommend her to my family and friends.

    The doctor was kind and respectful. However, the appointment was rushed and not as thorough as my last appt with Dr. [redacted]. [redacted] Dr.Connie Shi was very quick, rushed, and barely said anything to the scribe. She never asked about my positive ATM gene high risk for skin cancer. She didn't check between my toes or other areas I can't see in back. [redacted] I would go to her again if she is more thorough and not rushed. Thank you

    Dr. Shi was very, first time meeting her. She was very thorough. She had a lot of my information already, which I appreciated. And she listened to me in terms of my concerns. And she gave me a clear plan and what I needed to do in terms of testing and what the plan will be based on the lab work and things I got prior. I really appreciated her very much. She was patient and she frequently asked, do you have any other questions? Which is very, very good when you're talking with patients. I appreciated her very much and looking forward to her being my new primary. Thank you very much, Dr. Shi.

  • Reviewed on 10/22/2025

    Dr. Shi was impatient and rushed through the appointment. She seemed annoyed by questions, even though I didn't have any. She is lacking bedside manner. She was very dismissive and didn't even ask if I had any questions. I had to ask my questions as she was ready to leave. [redacted] I didn't feel confident with my treatment plan so I feel that the visit was a waste and left even more confused.

    Dr Shi is very personable and has a great "bedside manner". She performs my annual check up and always remembers my skin issues. She reassures me that everything is ok. I don't get much time with her though. She spends about 5-7 minutes with me. It seems like she could spend more time with me and do a more thorough exam. Maybe that's all the time she needs though.

  • Reviewed on 6/25/2025

    I would have liked her to explain the medical terms she was calling out to the scribe. I had to look at the notes later and look up the words to understand what she observed. I also would have liked more advice on why she circled two sunscreens as opposed to the others. Also perhaps when and how to use them. Ears? Nose? Etc. In addition, what to look out for in general. It felt a bit rushed. 5 minutes to explain what she observed in layman's terms (I have some medical knowledge) would have been very helpful. In summary she should have explained what she intended to put in her notes. By comparison, my wife got a much more detailed set of advice/instructions recently from her dermatologist.
