What a wonderful doctor. I came in there for one thing and she saw that something else was bothering me and she took her time to call my other doctor and tell them to get me an MRI.

The entire team, from the welcoming front desk staff to all the skilled Physician Assistants, exudes kindness, experience, and unwavering support. Their exceptional proficiency in their roles transforms what could potentially be a challenging experience into an incredibly positive one. I recently underwent an inter-shoulder injection and, to my amazement, felt absolutely nothing. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Shipley and her outstanding team for all your orthopedic needs.

Dr. Shipley was highly recommended and I saw her for a second opinion. After the exam and looking at imaging her findings were similar to the first orthopedic surgeon I saw. One huge difference, Shipley recommended a fluoroscopy guided cortisone injection into the joint and referred me. The other surgeon, who I'd been seeing for over three months had discussed it but not ready to refer me for this procedure. The shot should provide major pain and discomfort relief until joint replacement surgery by Shipley. Shipley was thorough, knowledgeable, answered all my questions and inspired confidence. Everything I expect in someone who's going to replace a major joint in my body!

Dr Shipley is everything you want in a surgeon. She understood my injury, was quick to get me in for a consult, and was even quicker to get me into the OR. She was kind, direct and confident. When I had my x-ray done in central Oregon, the ER doc said she had no idea how to fix my broken bone. When I met with Dr Shipley, she knew exactly what to do and had already preformed the surgery multiple times (which was really reassuring). Although my surgery wasn't very complicated, she removed my old hardware and added a new fix to the same bone, she took the time to answer my questions and was able to talk to my mom about my surgery in pre-op since my mom couldn't go with me to my consult. I seriously hope I don't have another shoulder injury, but if I do, I'll go straight to her. I contacted so many orthopedic clinics in the Portland Metro area, and hers was the ONLY one to offer to get my medical records for me, look at my x-rays without my prior medical records, and schedule me for a consult/surgery within 7 days. I spoke to multiple clinics, one of which refused to schedule me for a consult without my 8 year old out of state medical records, current records, and insurance information. When I called that clinic back, they didn't answer or return my voicemail. So, Dr Shipley gets major credit for taking that additional stress off my shoulders and prioritizing my injury. Thank you.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Shipley. I have had knee pain for a long time, starting from when I had a knee injury when I played soccer in high school. I kept putting it off because I thought I could manage the pain myself, until I couldn't. I was referred to Dr. Shipley by my doctor and I am really grateful for the referral. First off, Dr. Shipley has a really calm and caring bedside manner, which put me at ease. She answered all of my questions with sensitivity (even the weird and random ones I read on the internet). She was involved with my care before and after surgery and overall I felt like my hand was held throughout the whole experience. Best of all, no more knee pain! I cannot believe that I could live pain free, I don't know why I waited so long! I read the 1 star review on here before going to see Dr. Shipley and I have no idea what that person is talking about. Everyone at this office was very professional and kind and they went the extra step to look into my insurance when there was an issue and helped me clear it up. Honestly, I think that person has the wrong office. If I ever need surgery in the future, I will be going to Dr. Shipley again and referring my family and friends!

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Shipley. She has helped me numerous times by answering my medical questions, getting assistance from her network of physicians, discussing medical issues and concerns about complex cases and referring to specialists when appropriate. She is always so responsive and reliable (and goes well-beyond her call of duty) to my questions. An example of her going above and beyond is when I asked her for her opinion on my son's injured finger when he was at college last year in NYC. She quickly got back to me and referred him to a specialist she respects in NYC. That physician got him in right away and treated my son's injury. I really appreciate her and her vast knowledge in her field. Dr. Shipley is a physician I would highly recommend to anyone and in fact have referred family and friends to her!
