About Suzanne D. Shipman

Suzanne Shipman, MD, knew that she wanted to make a difference in the lives of patients and their families after witnessing one of her own family members battle cancer. 

Dr. Shipman, who see patients at Methodist Physicians Clinic Women’s Center, enjoys walking with patients through rewarding and challenging circumstances to help them fully understand their health condition and find a treatment plan that meets their personal preferences.

“I’ve had many moments in my career when a patient has come back to me and said that I really helped them through a difficult situation,” she said. “Either I made it easier for them or I helped them through it. And that just reminds me of why I do this.”

Dr. Shipman enjoys following women through pregnancy and meeting their gynecological care needs throughout the course of their lives.

“One of my favorite things about practice in OB/GYN is just that whole spectrum of care, starting with a new OB visit, transitioning into GYN care and following someone through their lifetime,” she said.

When meeting patients for the first time, Dr. Shipman likes to ask them about their family and interests before learning about their medical history because she believes it’s important for her to know the whole person.

She also enjoys making a lasting impact during special moments.

“What I really love about obstetrics is seeing the whole patient. Starting out with a woman for their new OB visit, seeing them for their whole pregnancy and doing their delivery is so meaningful, both for myself and for the patient.”

    I have been so happy and pleased with Dr Shipman and her nurse. Every time we leave an appointment with them we say just how awesome they are and how great they make us feel. They are so genuine and it feels like they really care and listen. I wish they could be our Dr and nurse for everything.

    My experience was great. I have been to many doctors who do not take me seriously, or down play what I am going through. I did not experience that once here.

    Dr Shipman is an excellent doctor. She listened to my issues from the first time I met her after Dr Jorgensen retired. She referred me to other doctors that finally figured out what is going on. Thank you DR Shipman !

    I can not say enough great things about Dr. Shipman and her staff. They were kind, listened to me, made me feel comfortable, and appeared to genuinely care. I should have switched doctors years ago. I'm so thankful for being referred to Dr. Shipman by the thoughtful receptionist who initially took my call several months ago.
