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.

Outstanding physician! He is in a league of his own. Highly intelligent well trained doctor!

My wife had to endoscopy procedures which went well; we were told that Dr Shireman would call us with the results in2 to 3 days; after 3 days we called and left a message asking for the results; after 2 more days we called again and a nurse read the report to us and when we asked to explain the results, she had no clue She just added thay my wife had a referral to a surgeon at KU but she did not know why; so we finally had an appointment with a PA 3 days later which went well.

I had my first ever colonoscopy at NKC Hospital Pavilion July 2019. I knew I did not want to use a surgery center (to many horror stories), and wanted it done at a hospital. I picked Dr. Shireman from the info I found on the web. I checked reviews, comments, years of experience etc... & had it done at NKC Hospital Pavilion. He was excellent. Very pleasant to interact with. I could ask as many questions as I wanted. Nurses there were all friendly and helpful. Afterward he came and gave me details & good information. I highly recommend Dr. Shireman and NKC Hospital.
