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.

great staff and the best doctor
The entire staff was very caring and answered all my questions at each visit. They were very precise and thorough and made treating this problem much more assuring. Dr. Shrake is one of the best doctors in the country and we are very fortunate to have him here in Georgia. He makes a point to be available at all times every week to answer any questions and explain the treatments. I would highly recommend he and his entire staff be utilized to get through this difficult time in life. They are literally saving lives every day. They are the best!

Philip Shrake / Radiotherapy Clinics of Georgia
I just completed the ProstRcision program for prostate cancer with Dr. Philip Shrake and his team at Radiotherapy Clinics of Georgia in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Everyone on the radiation team was helpful, knowledgeable, courteous, and friendly. Dr. Shrake thoroughly explained the process and addressed all my concerns. This is the second time that I have been treated by Dr. Shrake at Radiotherapy Clinics of Georgia. Twelve years ago, Dr. Shrake successfully treated me for throat cancer. I am well pleased with Dr. Philip Shrake and his team at Radiotherapy Clinics of Georgia.

Dr. Shrake and his staff are AWESOME!
From my first to my follow up visit Dr. Shrake and his staff made me feel at ease and "comfortable " with each radiation treatment I had. Always professional, yet FRIENDLY with me and with others as I witnessed in the waiting room. Dr. Shrake and his staff made an already stressful time very positive and peaceful. Wouldn't want to do it (Radiation Treatment) again, but if I Had To - I'd go back to him!!!

This past March marked the 6th time over the last decade that I'd received radiation treatment from Dr. Shrake. As has been my experience each time, the level of care provided was exceptional. A concise treatment plan was devised quickly and implemented with great precision! I have great confidence in his ability to assess the situation accurately and formulate a plan based on his knowledge and experience. His entire staff is professional and do all they can to make you feel at ease.
