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.

Treatment for 35 years. Always very courteous. Extremely knowledgeable. I refer every one who asks me to him. Had seen another doctor previously and not satisfied. He’s the Best.

I’m alive today because Dr. Abshire and RNP Sylvia Oats never gave up on me. My case was sooo complicated and they found a great deal of things wrong and they had the knowledge to look and then treat. I would never go to anyone else. Thanks

I've been a long time patient of Dr. Abshire. He has been my lifesaver. I had fallen very ill and I appreciate a Doctor that can admit not sure what's going on. When Dr Abshire isn't sure it motivates him to do everything in his power to get to the bottom of it. Thanks to him being so professional I was diagnosed with Colon Cancer. We had no family history of any type of cancer. Thanks to Dr.Abshire I'm an 18 year colon cancer survivor. Thank You Dr.Abshire n Staff!

Had a colonoscopy done years ago. The anesthesia wore off. Told him I could feel everything continue with the procedure. Never did he apologize. With the nurse and the anesthesiologist , and they said nothing.
