“I would not hesitate to recommend Shirley and YLIYH in that the biggest thing for me is the confidence she inspires as a highly experienced healthcare professional that really makes you feel like you are truly in a safe pair of hands.”
“I visited Shirley after being a little dissatisfied with a recent health assessment that didn’t take into consideration my cultural needs.
I was very pleased with Shirley’s reassuring manner, professionalism, and thorough examination, which included Blood Pressure, BMI, and Cholesterol checks.
She had a real knowledge in her medical field as a nurse, however the listening skills and empathy was an added bonus, which made me definitely know I made the right choice. I was also pleasantly surprised to have a very detailed action plan to move me forward towards my health and well-being goals”.
