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.

I tried to see him 2 times and both he was not in the office. I need to see a dr for my meds. This is not right for a 53 year old man to go with out his meds because i can't afford to see a real dr.

Dr. James Shipley has been my internal medicine doctor since. Dr. Shipley practices medicine with his wife Dr. Sheryl Pack. They treat their patients with the upmost expertise and compassion. I truly love Dr. Shipley and his wife Dr. Pack. Dr. Pack was my mother's doctor. She treated my mother as a patient, but she also treated her as though she were her own mother. Even when she was on hospice. My mother passed away at 84. Dr. Pack made her life worth living to the very end.
