Patient Reviews
Mar 23, 2024
I will be forever grateful to Dr. Shimp for taking me on as a patient. I had several issues making me a complicated ob patient, and initially they weren't going to take me on. I reached out to Dr Shimp personally and she decided to take my case. She was excellent from start to finish. She monitored my daughter and I closely and always listened to my opinion and concerns. When she got in the OR for my section I was terrified and she was so calming and compassionate. Easiest surgical recovery I have ever had. She is an exceptional Dr, surgeon, and human being. If I have any more babies I will without a doubt be going to her.
