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.

Dr. Shoemaker is good at discussing medical conditions, changes that may be needed and possible options that would be available.

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!
