    Patient Comments

    • December 17, 2018Would have liked more explanation of TMJ and my sinus cyst but overall good visit.
    • December 8, 2018He is professional, courteous, friendly and personable and has a very good bedside manner. I would recommend him to everyone.
    • November 6, 2018Exceptional provider!!
    • October 17, 2018Dr. Shoemaker is a fine doctor and super person, highly competent, friendly and great surgeon.
    • October 15, 2018An amazing first experience at this office and with Dr. Shoemaker.
    • September 20, 2018*Dr. Shoemaker came across cocky & arrogant. Further, he humiliated me, making me feel like I should know the anatomy & my daughters ear. He all but said I was a food for bringing her in despite our ... for her health over the last year. The ONLY positive part to our visit was that he was friendly with my daughter (the patient).
    • September 11, 2018A great physician that took the time and was easy to understand. He was great with my son, who loved chasing him down the hall (14 month old). Thank you.
    • September 6, 2018No issues at all
    • August 20, 2018best ENT to date!
    • August 3, 2018I had a very positive experience with Dr. Shoemaker. He was courteous, very professional, knowledgeable, and informative. In my opinion his analysis of my condition and treatment plan was spot on. I believe the medication is helping halfway through the 10 day regimen. First visit but I have great confidence in Dr. Shoemaker.
    • July 30, 2018This was the first time I had seen anyone in this practice and I feel I hit the jackpot. I was very impressed with *Dr. Shoemaker and will certainly recommend him to anyone who needs his services.
    • July 24, 2018Dr. Shoemaker is the best!
    • July 16, 2018short and quick, didn't want to hear what my concerns were
    • July 4, 2018I trust him more than any doctor that I have seen in years.
    • July 3, 2018Good experience, no problems.
    • June 26, 2018excellent visit
    • May 17, 2018all positive
    • April 7, 2018Dr. Shoemaker is a very professional, friendly, understanding & courteous specialist. I would recommend him to everyone (both young and old). His bedside manner is superb.
    • April 2, 2018I scheduled surgery with Dr. Shoemker he was very through
    • March 21, 2018Already recommended my sister to practice...although she did not get an appointment with Dr. Shoemaker...she got to see another Dr and was very pleased with him

    Currently, not all doctor ratings and comments are available. The number of rated physicians will increase over time. 
    The more ratings a provider receives, the more accurate and statistically reliable the data is. Providers with less than 30 ratings may not have patient ratings listed on their profiles.
