Dr Shen is a caring informative doctor. She provides a listening ear and takes the time to explain, give reasons for tests and other medical issues. She speaks with ease and makes the patient feel cared for in a professional manner. I would recommend her to my friends.

Regarding the appointment in mind ,this was the first time in many years I have ever had to wait more than 15 minutes for my doctor to see me while I waited in her exam room. She is always good about coming in within 5-8 minutes and is always happy to see me.
Providence Patient
They have always had my health issues as their number one issue to take care of and made me feel they were interested in my health issues.
Providence Patient
I have a great doctor (Dr Shen) who really is concerned for her patients and their needs. She intently listens and gives great suggestions for our health. She was pivotal to me when my mother passed away in 2021 who was also one of her patients. She knew of my mom's decline, and I kept her abreast when she went in the hospital. She was empathetic to my needs and called me to give condolences once she was informed of her passing. She was a beacon of hope during that painful time. Blessed for a doctor who cares for her patients.
Providence Patient
Dr Shen and her team has been very responsive to my medical needs. I appreciate it greatly.
