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.

Dr. Shackelford took care of my father for many years until he passed away December 1 2015. There isn't a better doctor, or person around. His staff is second to none as is Dr. Shackelford just an all around great man.

After a few office visits with a PA not the ACTUAL SURGEON my mother was scheduled for a hurnia surgery. In pre- op at consent time risk of surgery and probable complications came out. Result no surgery. Reason for review is lack of communication or lack of DOCTOR seeing patients prior to scheduled procedures. Not Extremely upset but I'm sure the billing department is going to have their way . Good luck to all.
