Doctor Shoemaker was recommended as a provider by a family member. I often talk with friends and family about my diabetes journey. If someone would ask, I would encourage them to contact Dr. Shoemaker's practice.

Dr. Shoemaker is patient, listens well, and conservative in his treatments. Answers all questions and does not seem to be in a hurry. Very pleasant guy!

I really like Dr. Shoemaker. I previously saw another Dr there who always made me feel bad and self-conscious about my health issue. I would have terrible anxiety leading up to my appointments. I don’t have that with Dr. Shoemaker. I feel very comfortable with him.

When I’m taken to the room he has always joined me right away. I feel like he’s always approached me on a personal level and doesn’t make me feel like I’m on an assembly line. Dr. Shoemaker is a great doctor and goes over everything with me!

My fears were great, not knowing what to expect with a new diagnosis. Dr Shoemaker compassionately walked me through, start to finish, a detailed explanation of what the diagnosis means, what brought me to this point, what treatment options are available and the pros/cons of each. He encouraged me to research the two options he presented and followed up
with phone calls to ensure I was aware of where we were in process (labs, insurance, etc),and providing an opportunity to address any question/concerns.
I left feeling assured that I was in the best of hands!
