When I was having a consult for a procedure I was having done, he asked if I had any questions and I asked one (a completely reasonable one might I add) and he seriously told me to "Google it." Then when I had complications from the procedure, he was very condescending and impatient, bordering on straight up rude. He also seems VERY self-important (even for a doctor) and even implied that I should've thanked him for his time! If I had it to do over, I would shop around more for doctors to perform my procedure read more

This guy did my endometrial ablation. Told me I'd bleed for 2 weeks tops. EIGHT weeks later when I was still bleeding I went back to him because I was scared and annoyed because I felt like I'd been lied to. He was very dismissive and almost acted like I was bothering him by making another appointment. He then, without even examining me, told me if I wanted to control the bleeding to get on hormonal birth control - the exact thing I DIDNT want to do and the whole reason i had the ablation to avoid it. If bedside manner and aftercare is important to you, I would recommend going elsewhere. read more

Horrible bedside manner. Made inappropriate remarks to my minor daughter while getting her on birth control and again to my husband while I was getting ready to go into surgery regarding having sexual relations with others with my permission during a simple week after my surgery Absolutely non transparent and talked to me like I was stupid and should know the ins and outs of my procedure that he preformed. He removed parts without mentioning it until my post op appointment. Never again will I give him the opportunity to serve me or anyone I know if I have my way read more

I've had nothing but good experiences with Dr. Shea and his team. The clinic is very clean. The office ladies are beyond nice and helpful. Never got that rush feeling when you get seen for your OB appointments. The location is very convenient when it comes to having to get blood work or even an ultrasound. Everything you need is in the same vicinity. read more

Dr. Shea delivered my only child 16 years ago when my OBGYN was suddenly gone in vacations. What a improvement he was! Super caring, funny, attentive. Just have good memories from that interaction. I moved away right after the birth, otherwise would change to be his patient. read more

Dr. Shea was amazing, he had delivered me when I was a baby and then he got to deliver my beautiful girl on June 17. Throughout the entire pregnancy he was amazing, always making sure that I was well informed and taking care of any concerns I had! During delivery it was my first so there was complications on my end and he did have to vacuum her out she had the umbilical cord around her neck and he got it off so quickly! He checked on me and made sure I was okay and took a lot of time stitching me and double checking that everything was good! Hopefully he is around next time we have another baby and he doesn't retire, he is truly awesome and we both appreciate everything he has done for us! read more

Theodore W Shea, MD - Our baby girl - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Red Bluff, California

Dr.Shea has the best bed side manners, I myself an my sisters have ever had in our life. Our family deals with a lot of women anatomy problems, and not many physicians were willing to help find the answers for our questions. Dr.Shea has answered an gave resolutions. Thank you for your help. read more

He was super nice and caring when I first met him and then I had complications on a surgery he did and then he wanted nothing to do with me. I went to my post op appt with him and he was condescending and was contradicting everything he was saying to me. Wouldn't sign long term care papers for my husband to be able to take care of me eventhough I had proof and notes from several ER dr that clearly stated I was in need of care he would only sign for 2 weeks and nothing more. I HIGHLY do not recommend him at all!! read more

Dr Shea is a professional physician. I trust him and also find him humorous, assuring, and an expert. He has a good bedside manner. His staff is courteous and kind too. I recommend Dr. Shea highly. read more

Just reading these reviews makes me sad.. I got stuck with this doctor 18 years ago when the hospital called him and not my midwife. I wasn't having complications during labor, so I have no idea why they brought him in. Anyway, he was so rude, condescending and was literally angry at me because I was bleeding a lot( I tore.. for God's sake I was having my first baby! And I was only 19).. and treated me like I was wasting his time. So, I see he hasn't changed. 18 years later and I haven't forgotten that. read more

Recently had laser facial hair removal done and Dr. Shea was patient and understanding. He proceeded slowly and gave me satisfying results. The entire procedure wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Not to mention the price! Incredible results at an affordable rate!!! Thank you :) read more

I have been a patient at Tehama Women's Health for over 10 years. I have seen Dr. Shea several times and he has always been very short and rude to say the least, which is why I normally see Pam or Sally. However, this time I waited 2 weeks to specifically see Dr. Shea because I had some serious concerns and wanted a Dr.'s opinion. As soon as he entered the room I could tell I was wasting my time. I proceeded to try and explain why I was there and inform him that I had had some recent abnormal test results. He just gave me a blank stare and little to no explanation or opinion as a medical Dr. At that point I didn't know what else to say. He actually said to me very rudely "Well you scheduled the appointment didn't you?" And I said "Yes. I was hoping to get some answers from a Dr. I don't know what's wrong with me. That's why I'm here. You are supposed to be the Dr." He then offered all he could do was examine me but at that point it was evident he could care less and had been so unprofessional that I said No thanks. He then walked me out to the front and sarcastically asked if I would like him to forward a note on this visit to my primary Dr. My response to him "and say what? That you didn't do a single thing for me?!" I will never step foot into Dr. Shea's office again. As a patient I am paying Dr. Shea for his time and professional opinion. I believe that should include respect and not to be spoken to condescendingly. If he dislikes his job that much he needs to retire! read more

I have been seeing Dr Shea for years. He is the nicest person! He is understanding of my years and is very gentle. Don't judge this man on other peoples opinions. Judge for yourself. Some people just go in there full of themselves and i suppose he reacts to it. I give him a thumbs up all the way read more

Grandaugter had the worst experience with her delivery with this Dr. Very unattentive, bad bedside manner, epidural did not work, waited too long to come into delivery, she tore real bad, and then he swore at her and almost made her cry, I would never reccomend this doctor for a delivery. VERY INSENSITIVE and does not seem to respect the feelings of his patient read more

Very rude. Me and my husband went in for our routine appointment (we're 33 weeks pregnant) and we usually see Pamela Stewart, CNM (who is absolutely amazing) somehow our medical chart got sent to him instead. He began the appointment with the 'keep moving cattle' mentality. He didn't seem aware of what the heck was going on (just had blood drawn for test) and was telling us something very different and treating us condencendingly. Then when he just called it a loss, he quickly slabbed some cold jelly and dug the doppler into my stomach and listened for the beat just long enough to hear there was one. After the slightly aggressive wiping off, he rudly asked if we had questions (which we did; new parents) he barely answered and was sarcastic and cold. And that was the end of our appointment. If you're having a baby and want someone kind and knowledgeable to help you through your experience, DON'T go to him. read more
