I've been with the Shamlin's for many years and I wouldn't trade them for the world. They are very personable and attentive. They do not rush you and always take time to listen to your concerns. I'm a patient for life. Ms George

I am so pleased with the new NP in Dr. Shamlin's office. She is knowledgeable, professional and warm. I will be willing to make an appointment with her if I cannot see Dr. Shamlin.

My daughter has no complaints about Dr. Shamlin, she was very patient and attentive. We made an appointment with her NP and my daughter was not pleased at all. She said that the NP talked down to her and was not patient with her at all. We will only see Dr. Shamlin for this point forward.

Dr. Shamlin herself is great. But her phone service is horrible, you cant get anyone on the line to make an appointment, or to get an refill on prescription. So don't run out, especially if you have HBP.
