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.

Terrible bedside manner
Each time I've seen Dr. Shiner, I've left feeling as if my appointment was a burden to him. Short, to the point, and not very kind. In the past Manet has had GREAT, competent doctors, don't know where they are now.

I had one conversation with this man over the phone. We had a courteous exchange until l asked him if he could take me on as a new patient. He hesitated, then asked me - in a manner that presumed me irresponsible and might be appropriate if he was speaking to his twelve year old child - if l was going to be a good patient. I, also, hesitated in my response, waiting for him to chuckle at his ‘pleasant humor’. My mistake. He was serious.I was taken aback as l have never before been asked that question under similar circumstances. I mumbled something forgettable in return and then cordially ended the conversation. Perhaps l am overly sensitive. Perhaps this man is arrogant and condescending. I’m a 63 year old man who has had a difficult life, as have we all to varying degrees. I do not do well with people who patronize me. I chose not to request this man as my primary.

Very poor experience with Dr Shiner. He did not listen to my concerns and acted totally indifferent and very unprofessional.

Worst Dr. to ever see. Barely actually accesses the situation. Half way finishes his job and then doesn't even call back when he screws up!! I wouldn't see him again even if he was the only doctor on my premium! Love the medical center he just happens to be the worst thing about that. With being the head doctor makes my decision to leave that much easier. Will never go with any doctor that's apart of his team ever again
