Make an appointment to see Dr. Cate by calling
If you live in the area and would like to make an appointment you can call Dr. Shanahan’s office at the Queen of the Valley Medical Center. Do not submit questions via email.
980 Trancas Street, Suite 10
707 251 3681
Frequently Asked Questions:
What ages do you treat? At my current Queen of the Valley location I see children and adults from age 6 and up. In my future Queen of the Valley location (sometime in 2012) I plan to see all ages.
What are your office hours? 8:30-5 Monday through Friday. On Wednesday, the office is open but I do not schedule appointments.
Will I see patients in the hospital? I work hard to keep you out of the hospital, but if you need to be admitted you will be well taken care of by Queen of the Valley’s excellent hospitalists. I often visit my patients during their hospital stays to provide additional continuity of care.
What happens after hours? If you have an emergency, please call 911. If you have an urgent medical question, the answering service will put you through to the physician on call. If you need medication refills, please wait until the next business day.
Do you do phone consults? For those who cannot come to my office, I can do a one hour telephone consult for a wide variety of conditions. Please send an email to Admin at DrCate dot com (spelled out to limit spam) to set up a time. The fee is $350 per hour and payments must be made via paypal.
Where can I find a doctor who won’t put healthy people on statins? This is getting easier to do, as more and more physicians are learning the truth about pay for performance and what really causes heart attacks.

I live in St. George, fascinated with your book, Deep Nutrition and it’s the ONLY book for the past several years that has made complete sense to me. However, I live in Southern Utah. Would it be possible to arrange a phone consultation? Thank you very much.
HI Elsie
I am working with my employer to arrange phone consultations but it will be a slow process since I work for a very large organization. If you subscribe to the website you are sure to be notified when the arrangement is complete.
Thank you so much for your kind comments!
