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.

I first went to Dr. Shellhorn in March 2019. My white blood count was really high. I finally ask Dr. Shellhorn about it in September. He finally looked back at his records and started sending me to other doctors. My neurologist found out I had mini strokes and harden arteries. Dr Shellhorn stopped my blood pressure meds. Deloxitin 90mg. , and he knew the Pain Clinic doctor wouldn't fill oxycodone 80mg. I went back to him and said I was worried about having a stroke and he didn't do anything to help me....I had a stroke January 18th. The deloxitin and the oxycodone should have been tapered off. If you want to completely put your life in his hands, be sure he thinks you are worth living. Dr. Shellhorn would take me off my medicine, with the MRI report he had of my brain. I didn't die. So I will warn you. Be careful!

Even with all tests coming back negative and knowing my job is on the line he still refuses to clear me for work. No reason not to just keeps scheduling more tests. I am literally going to lose my job and he responds with "that's not my problem. You should have better insurance."
