Patient Reviews
Sep 20, 2025
I’m not sure why these others who have commented have had long waits. I’ve never waited longer than 15 minutes. Dr. Shiver is very kind and gives explanations that are easy to understand. He will spend as much time with you as you want and he refers to specialists if he needs to.
