Theodore Shea, MD

I had a horrible experience with Dr Shea Red Bluff Womans Health Specialist. I went for ultrasound and was confirmed that I miscarried at 4months ( my midwife Pamela Stuart who I trusted and preferred was not in that day) He then scheduled me for a dnc which I wasnt not clear on understanding at the time what he would be be doing I was so emotionally stressed. Then during dnc he did not actually remove the baby as was supposed to have been done. A week later I had to go to ER because pieces of the baby was coming out. They had to fly me to UC davis. I was told I should sew them but I was too emotionally unstable. Now that I am in a better position to express myself. I know what he did was wrong. 2 days after the surgery they received the labs that stated no fetus was present just blood. Why did Dr Shea if Red Bluff not check on me. Why is after they received the labs he did not get me back to the office. Nothing. I waited 2 years to file a suit they told me I was too late. So I put in 2 complaints with the health board and no word.

I had a tumor to be removed. Along with the tumor, it was necessary to remove an ovary and a fallopian tube. Every question I had was barely answered. He treated me as if I was trying to get more time off work, get extra pain medication or was wasting his time. When I had questions about the amount of pain I was in, he never asked how much pain I was in, what type of pain it was, or when I was in pain. He just said it was normal. He used staples instead of sutures which were very painful during recovery and at removal. When my mother asked questions he was disrespectful and condescending. He stated that he would refill my pain medication but never did. He made a point to state several times how much belly I had after removing the staples and attempting to apply steri strips. To be fair I'm alive and that's the most important part of the doctor's job. But if I had a choice of doctors I would never let this man touch my body again.

He was very nice at the beginning but I had complications in my delivery he wasn’t even there when I delivered my baby he just went to go visit me one time out of 8 days that I was at the hospital I had complications definitely do not recommend If your at risk. I don’t even recommend the hospital I had high blood pressure and they induced me and I asked for the epidural and it took them 1 hr and a half to get there to the point we’re the epidural didn’t even work on me and there is a lot more but I definitely do not recommend Dr. Shea or the hospital.
