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.

I read some of the negative reviews and I’m wondering if there are two Dr. Lester Shoaps. My husband and I have been his patients and have only wonderful things to say about my Dr Shoap. He is kind, caring and listens to all our health complains. Couldn’t ask for a better M.D.

Dr Shoap is very knowledgeable and he's been very kind to my elderly mother. The wait has always been short and the staff is very pleasant. I highly recommend him to others..

I have been seeing Dr. Shoap for several years. My first visit with him was a referral from my PCP for a suspected heart murmur. Since then Dr. Shoap has been treating me for high cholesterol and monitoring my blood pressure. I have always enjoyed my visits with him and greatly appreciate his warm bedside manner, great sense of humor, medical expertise and professionalism.
