- April 20, 2021*Dr. Shoemaker explained things to me as if I had no knowledge of medical terminology which I love... even if I am a nurse and do know medical jargon, it is so nice to be treated like an equal patient and not a health care worker.
- March 10, 2021This was my first visit. I went there for a second opinion from an accident where I broke my nose. He put me at ease from the beginning, and showed me on the poster what was going on with my nose. I would definitely recommend him and I would see him again myself.
