I have never had another doctor which I would recommend more than Dr. Shellcross. He has treated our entire family, and we would not trust our Gastroenterology needs to anyone else. Wonderful bedside manner, will spend all the time you need to make sure all your questions are answered, and very easy to get in touch with for emergencies. You may have to wait a little bit in the office because emergencies do come up, I have been one of those, but it will be worth it.

First rate all the way. Found things other MDs had missed - Dr. Shallcross saved me a lot of unnecessary suffering and potential surgeries etc. I would recommend him to anyone I truly cared about.

I waited over three hours in the waiting room for this doctor. The first time this happened, he said that he had an emergency. The second time it happened he blamed a new computer system. I waited an hour and a half the third time and even then he spent less than five minutes with me. He has shown total disregard for his patients.

I had a bad experience with my first colonoscopy; the doctor was two hours late and as I was already stressed that I would have colon cancer, (it runs in my family) my anxiety level was maxed out by the time he decided to appear. Dr Shallcross had been recommended to me and I reluctantly made an appointment to get my second colonoscopy with him. What a breeze! I went shopping later in the day and felt wonderful. He was on time and was very warm and genuine. The next thing I knew, I was dressed and having a cup of coffee! And, my colon was normal. It don't get much better than that. (Unless they can figure out a way not to have to drink the gaggy slurry.) I would highly recommend Dr Shallcross and his staff. They make the unpleasant bearable!
