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.

One of a kind Surgeon
Dr. Shotwell’s patience and his ability and willingness to take his time and explain in layman’s terms exactly what is happening and what procedure will be done is such a blessing. Many times providers can be short on time and patience. And you can feel like you have no idea what is happening or what is going on. Sometimes as patient you may even be too overwhelmed to ask questions. Not with Dr. Shotwell. Our entire family was impressed not just by the skill he exhibited during his procedure but his bedside manner was beyond exceptional. He not only explained what was going on in detail but he also made himself available to answer all of our questions. Thank you Dr. Shotwell for your service to our community and our country. We are forever grateful.
