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 Shelton and the entire FFMC are excellent!

Dr. Shelton has been my provider since 2008. We have a good relationship and we always talk about being a team as far as my health goes. I feel that if it weren't for her, I would not be enjoying the health I do today. She's a very good doctor

I have been under Dr. Sheltons care for several years. She is timely,professional and up to date on all of my health. Both mentally and physically. I believe I receive the best care possible. From the staff at the desk, to the nurses and blood drawer. I could not be more grateful and thankful for my care here.
