"So glad she is trauma informed. I’ve been avoiding a checkup for over a decade because of past trauma. When Dr. Shiode saw on my papers that I have PTSD, she very gently asked if my trauma involved any sexual abuse (it did) and she gave me the option to come in a different day when I would be more mentally prepared. During the examination, she was very informative about what she would be doing and why. She showed me in advance all the tools she’d be using and how they worked, and told me step by step what she would be doing. She gave me gentle warnings about what I would be feeling next so that nothing would catch me off guard. Listened to my concerns and gave me explanations about each of the possible diagnosis on the first visit. Definitely will be staying under this doctor’s care in the future."

"My visit with Dr. Shiode went very well. She performed the exam, was very easy to talk to and answered all my questions... she was not in a hurry. I highly recommend her, I really dreaded this appointment, but it was an all around good experience."
