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.

Dr. Shuman took extra time to re-review my chart, and answer all my questions. He was personable, professional, and put me at ease during a fine needle aspiration procedure.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Shuman?
My doctor requested 2 MRI's to be done at Watauga MRI in Boone NC. Insurance had approved BOTH MRI's and I pre-payed the hospital for both, this was so I could get the discount offered by billing. If I did not pay before services I would not get a discount. Dr. Shuman has never seen me in any professional sense and I have never heard of him before going to Watauga MRI. He denied my lumbar MRI despite not having any knowledge of my medical history and despite me having paid thousands for the MRI. His technicians refused to give an explanation and just told me to call billing, which is a nightmare by itself considering getting money back from hospitals is a long shot. I am not sure what his problem is but he cost me thousands of dollars and hindered my doctor in getting medical information we needed.
