“Dr. Shi is the best doctor in all of Colorado, bar none. He’s kind. He listens. He is patient. He will sit and talk you through everything and you never feel rushed. He really genuinely cares about you and your health. I hadn’t been in for a physical in two years and he remembered everything about my last visit and picked up like it was yesterday. Plus he’s like an encyclopedia of knowledge. If he’s accepting new patients there’s no question who you should go with!”

Dr Jay is a freaking baller. Personable, smart as hell, funny and most importantly, an incredible listener and great problem solver.
Best doctor I’ve ever had.
December 16, 2022Justin B.Verified patient
Dr. Jay is great. He listens carefully to my concerns as well as makes suggestions and clearly explains his reasoning. I get the feeling that he is both well educated and continues to keep up on his knowledge in the field by reading new research. Would definitely recommend!

I had such a positive experience with Dr. Shi. Not only did we cover the bases for a new patient intake, but Dr. Shi was very attentive when we discussed my chronic back pain. He went through what I had already done/previous treatments and made a plan to address my pain by changing what over-the-counter medication I use and referring me to a physical therapist. I left the appointment feeling heard and empowered about my health.
July 5, 2022Cameron B.Verified patient
Very good provider
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
I was pleasantly surprised with the ease to schedule an appointment within a week, no wait time at the office, and how thoughtful Dr. Shi was during my visit. This is the first doctor I've felt fully listened to in quite some time, and he took the time to thoroughly explain his thinking and work through an immediate, back-up, and long-term treatment plan with me. Highly recommend.
May 26, 2022Paige M.Verified patient
It was great experience with doctor jay shi.
He made note just for me to help me remember the things I need to get done and where I can go and what I’m getting for my illness which never happened before ( doctor never make note just for patient they usually just give u the visit note ) it made super clear for me .and yes he is very experienced. Got my lab and X-ray with both result in same day which s awesome ! I would keep him as me primary doctor from now on .even he is kinda far away .
May 20, 2022Chunxue Z.Verified patient
Great experience.
May 10, 2022Zachary B.Verified patient
Dr. Shi is awesome. Energetic and upbeat. Really takes his time and listens to everything you have going on and any questions you have. He’s very thorough and you don’t feel you’re being rushed along. He also has a wealth of knowledge about a lot of subjects and takes time to explain things.
The nursing staff is excellent and friendly. The new building is really nice. I happily drive half an hour each way just so Dr. Shi stays as my Primary Doctor.
One thing to note. Google Maps will take you to “Building T” but it’s the wrong location. Just go to 1400 Jackson St on Google Maps. Building T is the tall tower with the colorful glasswork and there’s a parking lot there. You’ll want to go there.
May 6, 2022Bryan R.Verified patient
Probably one of the best doctor appointments I have had in a while. Definitely would recommend Dr. Shi. He and his staff were just delightful. Did a thorough physical and made sure we covered all of the bases.
February 16, 2022Nathalie C.Verified patient
Dr. Shi's office was one of the calmest and most efficient doctor's offices I've ever taken for a test drive. After looking for a primary care physician in several areas near me, I am relieved to have found one in Dr. Shi.

Fantastic doctor and office - I felt very at ease and in great hands. Dr Shi was a great communicator and both he and the medical staff were attentive and kind. I am thrilled to have found a great primary care doctor in Denver.
November 18, 2021Melissa C.Verified patient
Dr. Shi made my first visit to him amazing. His bedside manor is above all. He really made me feel as if he was listening and trying to figure out how to fix my issues. On our first visit he made a game plan for future steps we will be taking and even was able to do certain tests like blood in his office as well. I will be returning to see Dr. Shi from here on out!

Dr Shi will be my doctor as long as I live in Denver. He is an excellent listener and communicator. In the multiple visits I have had with Dr. Shi, he has been attentive and made me feel heard.
