Dr. Shires was fantastic. She is very nice and is one of the few doctors that I've been to that really seems to care about taking time for her patients.

Dr. Shires is a great doctor and really cares about getting as much information as she can. I had a full 30 minute appointment with her! I highly recommend Dr. Shires. This is the way going to the doctor should be!

She is rude and acts like she is above you. She diagnosis without any information. She told me I was feeling depressed because of the medications I was on. Problem with that diagnosis is IM NOT ON ANY MEDICATION AT ALL! I don't think she even looks at your chart. She even told me that I might have pneumonia because of my cough without getting an X-ray or even listening to my chest. If she would of looked at my chart she would if known I have severe allergies. She sent me to the lab to get a reception shot. Once again, if she would of looked at my chart, she would have also seen I AM ALLERGIC TO PENICILLIN!! SHES GOING TO REALLY HURT SOMEONE EVENTUALLY! I can't believe she had a license!!

Dr. Shires was ready to see me as soon as I arrived. I cannot believe you can get this much face time with a doctor these days. I don't have insurance and the office visit was very affordable. She went above and beyond my expectations.

She runs out of the room before you can ask her anything. She tells you that you really don't feel the way you do. She doesn't listen and she treats her patients like they are a bother. Worse doctor ever!!
