“Dr. Amersi has never made me feel LESS heard, understood, or appreciated. I saw her for 6 years. In that time I went back to graduate school and got my master's in integrative and functional nutrition - with a specific focus on PCOS. I have told her this maybe 500 times. I also had concerns that I have endometriosis (spoiler alert: I do and its severe). Not only did she act like my concerns were not her problem, she brushed it off in the most frustrating way possible. The last time I ever saw her she told me I need to prepare for the fact that i might not be able to have a baby...I HAVE NEVER EVEN TRIED TO HAVE A BABY. Yes, with my PCOS and endo it might be harder, but its not impossible. There are tons of alternative routes you can take to have a baby. Dr. Amersi pretends like she is a PCOS specialist, but if you actually have PCOS and have issues with your cycle, she will not help you. If you are pretty and rich and concieve easily, she'll love you. But she makes anyone who is not actively trying to have a baby or who MIGHT struggle to have a baby feel utterly worthless after every visit.
Oh, and she is always over an hour late, has tons of random charges, and tries to charge a ridiculous amount so you can have access to YOUR OWN medical records, which is illegal in California. She is the worst. Go elsewhere, she will not care about you and she WILL make you feel like crap, every time you see her. ”

Shelly R. Coe, MD, MSc, NCMP, is a UCLA-trained gynecologist and a certified menopause practitioner in Newport Beach, California. Dr. Coe takes an evidence-based approach to care, focusing on her patients’ physical and social wellbeing. She’s passionate about building trust, and partners with patients on their journey to meet their health and wellness goals. She provides expert care to women of all ages, including teens.
Education
Dr. Coe received her bachelor’s degree from California State University, Fullerton and her medical degree from the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles. She remained at the UCLA Medical Center to complete her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology. She was certified as a menopause practitioner by the North American Menopause Society in 2012. To further her education, Dr. Coe recently received her Master of Science in health policy from City, University of London in the UK, and has a dedicated interest in health care reform and public policy.
Personal
Dr. Coe was born and raised in Orange County, California until the age of 12 when she moved with her family to Montana. After graduating high school, she returned to Southern California where she–a first-generation college student–worked full-time to fund her education in the pursuit of becoming a physician. She has always been an avid athlete, paddling for 10 years on the Dana Point outrigger canoe team throughout her undergraduate education and running, swimming, and biking throughout medical school and residency. After finally mastering her chosen field of Obstetrics and Gynecology, she worked in private practice in Newport Beach, CA until her second child was born, after which she reduced her practice to surgery assisting in order to spend more time with her family. When her mother suffered a permanent spinal cord injury from a horse accident, she put her career on hold and moved to Montana to be near her parents. She raised her children between Whitefish, Montana and London, England. This time spent collecting adventures and memories with her children is priceless to her. With both children now in college, she was able to return to private practice in Newport Beach, CA to re-engage with her life-long passion and commitment to collaborating with women to meet their healthcare goals and live empowered lives. She has worked tirelessly towards her re-entry process and developing her private practice goals. She has survived many expected and unexpected transitions in life and overcoming these challenges has inspired her to be a brave advocate for empowering women to take charge of the factors that influence their health and overall wellness. She remains a devoted mom.
When she’s not improving her patients’ health, Dr. Coe channels her creative energy and desire to work with her hands into gardening, cooking, and drawing–she even started college as an art major! She would call herself a “foodie”, loves to perfect recipes, and enjoys learning about new cultures through food. She is also a health and fitness enthusiast and enjoys active travel with her friends and family, including biking, hiking, and skiing.

“This ranks as one of the best doctor visits ever! From the front office staff to the thorough exam with Dr. Coe, I felt so taken care of from start to finish. My former doctor retired and this was my first experience with Dr. Coe. I feel greatly blessed to have such a knowledgeable, caring health partner who takes time to meet every need. I will certainly pass this along to my previous doctor and thank her for choosing such a star!”

“I am so glad I decided to go to Dr. Tzeng. He was very sensitive, kind and funny. I was nervous about the visit because I was very worried about my situation. He immediately put me at ease. He explained what was happening and why. At the end of the exam, he had me meet him in his office so he could show me exactly what is happening and also to tell me my options. I left feeling relaxed and so glad to have answers. The office staff was friendly and professional. A good combination. ”
