" Dr Shia is great.
< br />Helped my pain tremendously with an exact location of cortisone injection- felt improvement immediately.
< br />Gave my shoulder a thorough exam and I received information about my right shoulder seen in ultrasound, that was new and informative that was actually a chronic problem , made worse by my trauma.
< br />He answered all my questions and gave me opinions I asked for. When I left the office I felt better pain wise , hopeful I'd heal soon and a follow up plan of care in place. Everything I'd hoped to get out of my appointment with Dr. Shia I got and the visit exceeded my expectations. "

Data Transparency and Trust: Understanding WebMD Doctor Listings and Reviews

We know that finding the right doctor or provider is important to your health. That’s why we want to ensure you have confidence in the provider profiles and listings you see on WebMD Care. Our provider data is sourced from the physicians themselves as well as publicly available databases. Any doctor or provider who claims their profile by verifying themselves can update their information and provide additional data on their specialties, education, accepted insurances, conditions they treat, and procedures they perform.

All the physician and provider reviews on WebMD Care are provided by users just like you. Knowing these reviews provide insight into how other patients feel about a doctor, we maintain internal policies and protocols to ensure the quality and accuracy of all reviews. Providers are not able to remove or modify reviews on their own. Reviews can only be removed after an internal review by our customer service team.

We value your input and encourage you to reach out to our support team if you encounter any issues.
