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.

Best practice!!
I have been seeing Dr Shelnutt for a few years and I absolutely love him and all of his office staff. The women I have referred there have all been very pleased.

Amazing Doctor and Staff
Wow! After going to several other physicians I was finally heard by Dr. Shelnutt! From making an appointment all the way through check out all his staff are amazing. I love the fact Dr. Shelnutt talks with you in his office as opposed to sitting in a cold exam room in paper sheeting feeling uncomfortable. Amazing experience!

Unique Experience
So many great things to say about my first visit at Dr. Shelnutt’s office. The front office staff were all very friendly and welcoming. My wait time was completely unexpected- it wasn’t even five minutes before I went back to have the nurse measure vitals. The biggest surprise was meeting with Dr. Shelnutt before the exam. We sat down and he asked me questions, listened intently, and I shared my issues and concerns. He took the time to even illustrate certain aspects of female reproductive system and discuss various hormones and their impact on cycles. No doctor has ever taken the time to actually explain, ask questions, and listen. I’d highly recommend!

such a nice visit
From the moment i walked in the door everyone was so incredibly kind and caring. I went for an IUD insertion and Dr. Shelnutt was extremely upbeat and comforting throughout the entire experience. I usually am uncomfortable with having a male gynecologist but he made me feel extremely comfortable and supported throughout the whole process! I’ve already recommended him to a few of my friends who are also looking into getting IUDs.

He was kind, listened, gave me options, didn't judge me and made me feel very safe and comfortable in a situation that often has been the opposite. I drove an hour to see him and have no issue doing it again, he's a great doctor and I'm so happy I found him
