Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great bedside manners
I only saw Dr. Shinkunas one time and was super bummed when I called back to see if he was taking new patients. He was the nicest and most caring doctor I have ever seen. I have never had a doctor wheel his chair around to sit by me to explain what I he thought I had going on and what test he was going to order. They usually just sit in their chair at the computer and start talking. He was the complete opposite.

Dr Shinkunas took excellent care of me at a very difficult time. He is kind and compassionate as well as a truly gifted doctor. He is uniquely able to identify and treat the whole person and I am in debt to him for his skilled care.

I've seen Dr. Shinkunas for over five years as a primary physician. I've found him to be caring, concerned, and easy to talk with. My primary purpose to see him is for an annual physical.

He was the absolute rudest doctor I’ve ever had to deal with. I left in tears because he was mean and obnoxious. He refused to listen to anything I said. I can’t believe he still has a position with a attitude like his. He acted like I was a total inconvenience to his day. I ended up going to the emergency room and getting what I needed. Totally pathetic ????????

If you make appointment, never asked aboit anyother issues other then what you came in for because he will get very upset and only deal with what you getting billed for that visit.

I enjoy the variety of family medicine. In the course of one day, I could treat a sports-related injury, transition to geriatric medicine and then help a patient develop a plan for diabetes management. It's always something different. Seeing improvement...read more
