Dr. Shieh always takes time to explain what is going on and her thought process. She always takes time to answer all of my questions. She is so friendly and thoughtful every time I see her. Thank you!!

Dr. Shieh is the gold standard of medical care. She communicates her expertise with such care, concern, and ability. Whenever I ask her a question, she responds, Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to clarify that. She approaches families with such humility and kindness. She works tirelessly for her patients and makes sure everyone feels comfortable with complex care plans before we leave. I drive from Chattanooga and consider myself so fortunate to have found her.

I have already recommended her to a friend who has had a bad experience with cataract surgery and been told that it can't be corrected.

Dr. Sheih was very kind, caring and listened intently. She asked questions and waited/listed to the responses. She has a great bedside manner and treated me with respect and concern for my health.

Dr. Shieh is without any doubt the best care provider I have ever had for any type of treatment. She is a SUPERB communicator and I never had to ask questions as she was thorough in the best possible ways. I trust her and would never use a different surgeon for eye care. Thank you Vanderbilt for having doctors like Dr. Shieh, my love of the Vanderbilt medical system is primarily because of her.

She was very honest and straight forward on how she saw my situation. She gave me good recommendations for others she felt were better able to help me than her. She stated something no one else had ever told me. She told me I had glaucoma in my right eye, and no one else in the past 5 years have told me that. They all gave me the impression that I did not have glaucoma in my right eye, since my pressure in the right eye has remained 17 or less for the past 2-3 years.
