      I think my care provider, Dr. Shih has stood the test of time. She has persevered with me until she came up with a combination of meditation that seems to work at this time with no seeming side effects. I applaud her. And if there are any awards to be given. It should be give to her. She deserves it. I would wholeheartedly recommend any of my family members and friends to her. She is an asset to your organization. There are very few Doctors like her today.

      Dr Shih and I have had a very long relationship and I have always been able to communicate any issues that I have. She has helped me through my problems with my Epilepsy for many years and I always trust her decisions. We discuss many things during our appointments. UCSF has been my primary doctor team for many years.
