First time I've been to a gyno appointment and actually had my pain taken seriously instead of assuming it was normal discomfort. She listened, realized it was the position of my uterus and adjusted accordingly, pap smears are never comfortable but it was so much easier than before. I appreciate her so much and am glad shes my doctor!

I have seen this provider at a different office. That office was the Norton Audubon office. She has always been very informative and always addresses any concern I may have.

Excellent care. I had lapsed in my follow ups and was delighted that Dr Shim could see me quickly for the concerns found on my PET scan. I was also very pleased that my routine follow up is booked so I am less likely to forget that appointment. I can not overly stress how friendly, supportive and professional all the staff were from front to back and how easy they made this appointment.

Seeing a new provider was scary but she may it very clear she reviewed my medical history and we recapped together to make sure she had everything correct and understood. She met everything I asked her for and I really felt like she had been my provider forever. I really hope we can keep this relationship and build further. Thanks, cat! Also, staff made it very easy to get a sooner appt since I am an employee and that is something I was am very appreciative of.

Dr. C Shim is an excellent doctor and I would recommend her to anyone in Louisville looking for an OBGYN. She is very knowledgeable and has great clinical decision making skills. She always let me know what was going on and explained things well. She was personable and made me feel comfortable during my visits. I cannot recommend her enough!
