Dianna L Shipley

I can not say enough about Dr Shipley, she is so kind,and is very through. She took her time and explain all my test and the results to them. She answered all my questions. More doctors should be like her. I very highly recommend her,cancer is rough enough and to have a doctor that cares makes all the difference and she does care.

Dr. Shipley talks about Jesus but it's all for show. We agreed to reduce my chemotherapy but then she lied in my medical records stating I was non compliant. She was a horrible Oncologist. So glad I switched over to Vanderbilt. I finally have an EXCELLENT Oncologist & Breast Surgeon. They are honest, ethical and professional.

Dr. Shipley herself is wonderful herself. However, her nursing staff is not open to hearing one's. They rebuff many requests for things like second opinions to be made and answers to questions. They can be pretty non-responsive on the phone and fail to give understandable and direct answers to inquiries. In total, they are stand-offish and lack empathy on the phone. In person, they do much better. I, for one, will be asking my primary care physician for a different oncologist.

She was my wife’s oncologist and we would rate the staff 4 stars but Dr. Shipley 2 stars. She was very late diagnosing my wife’s multiple myeloma even after several office visits to her complaining of pain. Once diagnosed, she did a good job with the treatment of the cancer but seemingly ignored the affects the cancer was having on my wife’s bones. Ultimately, my wife had multiple compression fractures in her spine and could have utilized kypoplasty to repair the damage but nothing was done and now it’s too late to do the procedure. Frustrated!

Dr. Shipley's cancer team is the best a patient can experience . They are not God, but i will say they are doing God's work. We know she doesn't have control of every outcome of the patients. But me being a stage 4 surviver she searched every protocol for me. Praise God for putting Dr. Shipley in my path of life. As of November 2021 i will be cancer free for 16 years.

The staff is fabulous & makes you feel so loved & cared for. Exactly what we need. The nurses in the chemo room are incredible. Hate that I got cancer but very thankful I was sent to this awesome place.. I do wish I had seen Dr. Shipley more during my treatments.

Dr. Shipley has cared for me and my cancer for two years. She not only gave me her very special attention but encouraged me with each visit. Her staff is kind and makes everyone feel welcome and comfortable.

Dr. Shipley treated me for breast cancer during my initial diagnosis and treatment in 2014-2015. She was always cheerful, a pleasure to have as a physician. She answered my questions to the best of her ability and was always positive and reassuring. She and her office staff were always patient and worked with me on making payments on my deductible and copay bills, which seemed reasonable at the time. I would recommend her to anyone needing treatment in this area.

Never would I recommend her. Out of 16 appointments I only saw her once. It lasted 15 min. , never explained anything or answered any questions. I was assigned to a nurse practioner who was impressed with her own importance but didn't know anything. Lucky for me I found a doctor who cared and knew what he was doing. Since I left my quality of life has improved tremendously.

Was treated by Dr. Shipley for 8 1/2 months, but only met her once. I was instead relegated to a PA who I doubt was not familiar with my type of cancer (doubt that Dr. Shipley was either) Either they couldn't or wouldn't explain to me what the cancer was doing to my body or how their treatment was supposed to help me. I was even chastised for trying to learn more about it. I finally did use the internet to learn more and did find some excellent information about Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia. There is even an international organization and support groups to inform patients about their cancer. Many of the top research and treatment Doctors are active members and yearly invite patients to seminors describing the symptoms and latest treatments. At this point I knew I wasn't getting the best care. I went to the Mayo Clinic for a second opinion and learned more in 3 hours than I ever learned at Tennessee Oncology. The key statement by one of the doctors there was "If I want a reasonable quality of life and live to and old age find the most experience doctor that will work with you" Very sound advice. Dr Shipley to me didn't even come close to meeting those requirements. Was treated by Dr. Shipley for 8 1/2 months, but only met her once. I was instead relegated to a PA who I doubt was not familiar with my type of cancer (doubt that Dr. Shipley was either) Either they couldn't or wouldn't explain to me … More

Dr. Shipley is truly the most compassionate, knowledgeable clinician I have ever had the honor to know.

Dr. Shipley is a blessing! She takes the time to explain everything and you can tell she cares about her patients! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

Dr Shipley treated my husband for lymphoma in 2016 and I am happy to say he is healed today. Dr Shipley had a very influential part in his healing. We want to thank her and her staff for an incredible job. We also want to thank Dr Shipley for her encouragement to seek the Lord for healing.

She is wonderful. The best friend/doctor a woman could have. I have been a patient for more years than I could remember. She will probably retire before I stop seeing her. When you find the best, there is no need to look further.

Dr.Shipley is a wonderful and caring Doctor! And her staff is excellent!

Top notch care with true compassion. I knew the moment I started treatment that I was getting the best care possible.

The entire clinic reflects Dr Shipley's attention to detail and care for her patients. It is a warm caring place to which I like to go. I only regret that cancer was the price of admission.

My husband had non-Hodgkin?s Lymphoma for 27 yrs & with Dr Shipley for many of them. We adored her.The time and attention she gives could make you think you're her only patient. If one can look forward to seeing an oncologist, I think he did. It was like visiting with a friend. She's what kept him going. Her staff is just as caring. Making an appointment is flawless and the wait time MAX 15 minutes.She is absolutely awesome! She even took time from her family to attend his Celebration of Life.
