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.

Thank you for saving my life
I was in a car accident in November of 2001. I was 6yrs old at the time, and dr Shillinglaw was my trauma doc. I lost my spleen, and 85% pancreas. I am now 28yrs old, a paramedic with 2 kids and a husband. Thank you Dr Shillinglaw.

Dr Shillinglaw gets 5 stars. He operated on my mom, Mrs Johnnie Adams for intestinal blockage. This was approximately 8 years ago. Mom turned 90 November 2021. When he did her surgery, she had major complications and was at Memorial Mission nearly 45 days. We, her family thank you Dr Shillinglaw for your consistency and hard work keeping her alive. I could see your concerns and your actions proved you to be a GREAT surgeon.

In 2013 Dr Shillinglaw performed a very difficult surgery on my mother to repair where her stomach had slipped through her hiatal hernia into her chest, saving her life. She had a less than 5% chance of living and she is still doing well today. He was very caring and kind.
