“As a new patient, Dr. Sheu was an active listener and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in creating action plans for my care. I highly recommend Dr. Sheu.”
Christina N.February 2, 2026
“Love Dr. Sheu! I've been seeing her the past three years. She is so kind and always helps me get my eczema flarefups under control without just prescribing hydrocortizone like every other PCP.
The new office is modern, clean and bright, while staff was friendly and kind. The receptionist served me a delicious capaccino, and there's even a snack bar in the new office.

She was a great doctor! Really took the time to listen to my worries and concerns.
July 1, 2025Shivangi S.Verified patient
More focused on skin care / acne. I went in for a check for skin cancer and I feel like that wasn’t prioritized

Yes 100%
October 18, 2025Shahbaz M.Verified patient
I would not go back to this office. I came for a routine skin cancer check. I was suprised when the Dr told me I had moles on the bottom of my toes, and asked if she was sure. She looked closer with her magnifying glass and told me yes they are moles. When I went home and took a shower, those so called moles washed right off my feet. They obviously were not moles, but just dirt. I would not trust an office for my skin diagnosis that can't tell the difference between a bit of dirt on my toes and a mole.

Great!
October 6, 2025Aditya Royal M.Verified patient
Amazing doctor, very thoughtful, empathetic, calm and patient. She takes the time to explain what is going on, doesn't rush, and carefully listens to your questions and responds patiently. You can feel that she is attuned to what you're saying. I've visited her twice and have had a positive experience every time.
July 8, 2025Juhi S.Verified patient
Very friendly, professional, attentive staff. Very clean and attractive office. I came into this office as a new patient and am very pleased that I will be seen by this Dermatologist going forward. I was extremely impressed with experience!

Waited for 45 mins and finally a different doc came and did a 2 mins assessment.
Completely disappointed with overall assessment and experience.

Dr. Sheu is not only a superb physician, but a remarkable human being. She is gracious, kind, extremely proficient in her craft, approachable, and elegant.
I could not recommend her more highly. She is a tremendous credit to this practice. I consider myself quite fortunate to be her patient.
April 14, 2025Susan O.Verified patient
My first visit with Dr. Sheu was great! She answered all my questions and addressed my situation accordingly!
She’s a very nice and well-mannered professional. This was my first visit to a dermatologist and she made it a comfortable one.
She’s very knowledgeable in her specialty. She gave me plenty tips and advice to improve my skin and lifestyle.
I’ll definitely be coming back to see her as an established patient. I highly recommend that you see her for any of your needs!
March 31, 2025Alexander B.Verified patient
I recently had a doctor’s appointment that was a bit of a mixed experience. Despite a wait time of over 30 minutes, the doctor was genuinely nice and seemed caring. However the communication regarding the treatment steps was unclear. I expected to receive a clear treatment plan but left without any directives or medications. Additionally when I attempted to cancel the appointment due to these issues I was surprised to learn of a $75 fee for same-day cancellations. This was not communicated explicitly beforehand, which added to the frustration. The overall management and clarity of the process could be improved

She’s a great listener and understood what I talked about with suggestions to medications. I didn’t feel pressure to do anything. Very informative.

Dr Sheu had seen me before and had all my records from that visit and other doctors at the same clinic. She referred to those when examining me and was able to note something that needed following up from a previous visit. She answered my questions and recommended next steps. I will continue to see her at this clinic even though I have moved far away.

Linda Shri is really wonderful! She is knowledgeable , compassionate , honest , clear and took time to answer all my questions for this consultation. I would definitely see her again for any concerns I have!
December 8, 2023Marian T.Verified patient
so gentle and did not belittle me.
October 12, 2023Pazao L.Verified patient
The visit was extremely short given the price I paid. Only looked at two spots I noted and it’s not an overall prevention check. Not recommended. Wait time is not ideal either.

very friendly, would go back.
September 7, 2023Isabella F.Verified patient
Dr. Sheu is kind, a good listener and a very competent dermatologist. She gave me options with my hair thinning issues. And she has a holistic approach to wellness and how overall health supports hair health. I’d recommend her to anyone who needs a hair specialist!

dr Is really nice and I felt heard
July 6, 2023Mariana P.Verified patient
Dr sheu is very professional and did a great job answering all my questions about my skin. She acted quickly in diagnosing my issue and offering a solution. Only complaint I have is the long wait time and the immediate jumping to doing a biopsy - thought was too fast but made sense after I asked.
May 25, 2023Joyson Z.Verified patient
She listened to my concerns and took the time to look carefully at my skin to figure out what might be causing my concerns. She took the time to answer my questions and explain my options and what might help. I'm hopeful that she can help me treat my issue once we get the biopsy results back and have a definitive diagnosis.

The wait time was 40 minutes long, which was too long for me and my son.
The doctor was very smart and was quick to recommend changes to a previous doctor's prescriptions.
October 25, 2022Garrett C.Verified patient
After being told of a six month waitlist at PAMF, I booked Dr. Sheu and so happy I did. She was punctual, nice, thorough and smart. Very happy and will return for sure!
August 25, 2022James B.Verified patient
Dr. Sheu was so knowledgeable and kind. She was able to formulate a plan to help with my skin issues quickly and explained the thought process behind it clearly. I also ended up needing a biopsy which she performed during the same appointment, and it was painless! Highly recommend her expert care.

I had a great experience here at CSI, and will definitely come back! My provider was friendly, caring, and took her time which I feel is rare. She addressed several concerns I had and gave me a detailed follow up plan.

Great service ??
March 14, 2022Samridhi S.Verified patient
Such a gentle and caring doctor! I found her to be very professional and patient. Her inquiries were never uncomfortable. They always came from a genuine point of interest in resolving your skin-related issues. Her methodology was collaborative and patient-focused; you truly feel as though you're working together and not being lectured at or shamed.
At the same time, Dr. Sheu was undoubtedly realistic with expectations. She laid out exactly what my requested procedure may entail including: possible scars, size and shape of the scar, expected recovery time, and care protocol. She made sure that I was well aware of these possibilities prior to proceeding.
Her wait time was a tad lengthy but that seems to be out of her control and more of a front desk scheduling issue. In all honesty, I'd wait any amount of time just to be seen by Dr. Sheu since she is such a gem! Additional bonus was her preference for OTC product recommendations over less affordable options!
