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.

All personnel very professional.

So Glad I Switched
Dr. Shute is fantastic. He is friendly, professional, thoughtful, thorough, direct, and immensely competent. He really listens when I need his imput, and the backup available at the facility when I need emergency care is outstanding. I recommend him without qualifications.

thorough and courteous
Referred to him as a specialist for two possible eye conditions. Glad to say that one issue was eliminated and the other issue is correctable. Dr Shute explained how the issue will be corrected and discussed the options open to me. I appreciated his demeanor and time as I know he is a busy man. I'm confident because he is confident that he will do his best for me.
