Patient Reviews
Jan 31, 2019
Dr. Shimizu was attending the day I brought my wife Ana to the ER at BWH in Boston back on Nov. 28, 2018. Dr. Shimizu and her amazing team began tests to access Ana’s medical condition and a few hours later Ana was found to have a hole in her heart, labored breathing due to a semi blocked airway, blood clots near the lungs , & a compromised colon . Major surgery was key in saving Ana’s life! The superb skills of Dr. Shimizu along with her medical, tech. & surgical team saved Ana’s life!
