Shan J. Thomas, MD 350 Posada Lane, Templeton, CA 93465

"Excellent and woman friendly OB: and a wonderful resource for community midwives: thank you Shan for your positivity towards midwives and women's choices."

"I was going through the most DEBILITATING cycles, Dr. Thomas found fibroids and we proceeded with the hysterectomy. No more curling up in pain for days every month. I feel so much better."

"We finally conceived again almost 3yrs ago and I had a different provider. I really thought I liked my provider, but once we had the confirmed pregnancy she was very pushy about what she thought my birth plan should be and didn't seem to really hear me. Another provider suggested Dr. Thomas. He was fantastic with my prenatal and post natal care of our daughter! She ended up turning and being frank breech just before delivery. Dr Thomas tried everything to get her turned around. He made sure I got all the necessary u/s to check her status. Unfortunately he didn't get to be my catcher that time around. We fell pregnant again this past year with our son. Dr Thomas once again was fantastic, listened to all my concerns regarding my birth plan as before. I completely broke down in his office, which is out of character for me even pregnant. He immediately understood my position and again did everything in his power to manage my birth plan. This was my 3rd pregnancy so I assumed the little guy would be early. He was almost 3 weeks late. Dr Thomas and I made the best loose plan we could and communicated throughout the whole time to again honor my birth plan. Once again he didnt get to be my catcher. But it didnt matter because the level of care I recieved from him was exemplary! If we ever decide to have another child he will again be my doctor. His sense of humor is fantastic! He is an amazing provider and we were lucky to have him!"

"Amazing doctor and human being. I could not have chosen a more empathetic, gentle, caring person and excellent doctor to have to break the news to me the first time I met him that I needed a DNC. He then immediately scheduled and performed the surgery flawlessly. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this doctor, his office, and his staff. Thank you for providing me with the best health care, the most clear explanations, and the most empathetic ear during such a difficult time. You're the best!"

"Dr. Thomas is amazing! He is the most caring doctor that I have ever worked with. After meeting Dr. Thomas, I knew he would be the perfect doctor for my wife & baby. He helped us bring our baby boy into this world naturally, without medication, in a safe, calm, and loving environment. He was supportive of our birth plan while educating us along the way. Thank you!"
