Patient Reviews
May 17, 2023
Dr Shieh operated on my 95 year old mother two times a couple of months apart after falls she sustained in her apartment. She has extremely brittle bones and he and his orthopedic trauma team at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center repaired her broken leg both times. Our local hospital sent her there each time because they were unable to do the procedure. He called and explained everything and answered questions. In the follow up visit at his office he removed her stitches and was very caring. He was very nice but I hope she never has to go through it again!

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?
