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. Shoemaker is very professional, very understanding, very patient and cares . I'm very pleased with Dr. Shoemaker.

Best Primary Ever
Dr Shoemaker has been my primary for five years. The wait time is under 10 minutes, usually five. I tend to ask a lot of questions and he answers all of them. I do not ever feel rushed or unheard. He is on his referrals. Appointments were same day, Pre-Covid, but lately the wait for an appointment is longer. I have nothing negative to say. Recommend him completely.

Dr Shoemaker is one of the most caring, considerable, passionate , good well mannered doctor we ever met and very opposite with regards to his staff especially some of his MEDICAL ASSTS. super rude. (Just be careful guys) This is the reason why we had to look for another doctor like him. We just love Dr Shoemaker??

One who cares for patients – Jul 17, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Shoemaker?
I have been a patient with Dr. Shoemaker since 1996. I have not been to his office since 1/2017. when I called to make an appointment for a physical I was told by a very rude receptionist that he does not take new patience. I told her I have been with the Dr. for over 20 years. She ask if I am still with MGM when I told her no she replied oh he is corporate now and after two year I would be considered a new patient, but could see one of two other doctors there. Fortunately I am blessed with good health, unfortunately I find it very disappointing that if you do not have insurance that you become irrelevant ...:( looks like there is no more loyalty to people at the doctors office either...I loved Dr. Shoemakers his bedside manners and professionalism. I promoted his office for many years, when it was ok to bring in new patience, that are now being refused to be seen as well. We are living in difficult times. people are loosing jobs and insurances due to COVID... Where to turn now???

Dr. Shoemaker was only concerned about addressing things that he thought was important and did not put much thought into things that I felt was important. I have a chronic cough so Dr. Shoemaker ordered a chest x-ray that showed my lungs were fine. Because my x-ray was fine, he did not look any further and dropped my concern. Dr. Shoemaker also said to me that I have a Hiatle Hernia while two years later a specialist said that you cannot diagnose it from an x-ray instead I needed to have an Endoscopy done. Because I no longer an HMO, two years later, I am going to a Pulmonologist and a Gastroenterologist for my chronic cough and they are doing tests to figure it out. I also wanted to have my hearing checked and Dr. Shoemaker never responded and never gave me the referral.

Dr Shoemaker is among the finest physicians I've ever had anywhere (I've lived in NY, DC, and San Francisco), and without a doubt the very best doctor I've been to in Las Vegas. Extremely smart, thoughtful, conscientious, skilled, knowledgeable, and effective. Most of the office staff is very good. Carmen, ostensibly his medical assistant, seems either possibly to have either some cognitive issues or perhaps a language cognition barrier, which makes it very challenging to convey simple messages to the doctor. Other than that one small snag, A+ all around.

Dr Shoemaker is a very thorough and caring doctor. My husband and I have been going to him for several years. He always explains his diagnosis fully. He makes sure to follow up to make sure all routine appts are completed, such as dental, mammogram, eye and colonoscopy. He makes sure that when your appointment is completed that he has answered all of your concerns.

Of all the doctors I have seen in the past 9 years,he is the best.He's thorough.....so if you DON'T want a good exam or help in resolving issues...go to someone else,he's not your man.IF you want to be pro-active in your health care,or have someone that WILL listen to you,then he's the man.His referrals to speciality doctors have been SPOT ON. I've never been disappointed in any of his referrals.

He spends more time with me then any other Dr. that I have been to in the past. In great detail he explains to me all my lab results and why a certain medication would be better to take then other medications. He also has a great disposition and his staff is very friendly too.

He takes the time to listen to you. Recently was in a car accident and needed advice from him outside office hours. They listened to what was going on and got him on the phone right then. He then called me on Christmas Eve to see how I was doing. Have not had this level of care since I was a kid.
