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.

Excellent Care
I went in for surgery which can be a very scary experience. Dr. Shimunov listened and explained the procedure thoroughly before surgery. He addressed any concerns I had and I went into surgery feeling calm and cared for. His staff was simply amazing! They were like a well oiled machine and they made sure I was comfortable After the surgery, he was attentive and caring. I would definitely recommend Dr.Shimunov to anyone who is looking for a competent surgeon. You would be in excellent hands!

Dr explained my hernia surgery thoroughly. My surgery went well with no pain or real discomfort after. His staff is very friendly, courteous and professional. They promptly returned my calls prior to my procedure being done. I would not hesitate to seek his services if needed and I highly recommend him.

Great surgeon
Was diagnosed with acute appendicitis and Dr. Shimunov performed my operation that night. His team was amazing and answered all my questions. I am currently at home recovering from the procedure and am doing more than I anticipated and with less discomfort/pain.

Dr.Shimunov performed two surgeries on me within the last couple of months and I can say I highly recommend him. Both of my procedures went amazing and recovery time was so short. I had my appendix removed and the same day of surgery I was able to get in and out of bed. The pain from the surgery was little to no pain. I only took my pain medication the first day after surgery then didn’t need to take it. Of course some discomfort to do daily activities but over all a fast recovery. I’m two weeks post op and going back to work. Dr shimunov is very knowledgeable and has great bed side manners. He’s very professional and gets straight to the point which I loved about him. Like I said I highly recommend him and his work over all highly satisfied. Thank you Dr. Shimunov.

Dr. Shimunov performed a double hernia repair for me and it was a very good experience. Little to no pain post-op. Very congenial man who takes the time to explain it all and clearly a good surgeon.

I had my reservations seeing a male surgeon for my breast cancer, but glad I saw Dr Shimunov. Excellent staff. Very detail oriented. He guided my all the way through beginning to end. I'm glad we have such young, caring, empathatic skilled surgeons in town. God bless Dr Shimunov and his staff.
