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.

We love the newest nurse practitioner, Grace Ann! She is very sweet and thorough. She fits right in with the awesome staff!

The new Nurse Practitioner Amber is very sweet and caring. I was so use to Misty that I was hesitant to see someone else. I’m so glad I did! She is a great addition to the team!

I was very hesitant to take my children in for their annual exams with the fear of COVID-19 but with the safety measures taken at Cullman Pediatrics I was completely comfortable going in! They made me feel at ease and were super helpful! Highly recommend them! We love Cullman Pediatrics!

Dr. Sheffield is fantastic! I have been seeing her since my baby was born in Dec. She is always so thorough and kind. If she is not your doctor, she needs to be! I feel like our concerns have always been heard. She also has some sweet RNs that have helped with all my new mom questions along the way.

I saw this Doctor for the first time recently and I LOVED her. She was very thorough and took her time with us. She is new at an office where I've already been taking my child for a few years, and I will be happy to see her at any visit in the future.
