Dr. Shumate has been my Primary Care Physician for eight years now. He is attentive, caring and always congenial and professional. The clinic is always busy and it can take a while to get an appointment, but they try to accommodate you.
On very busy days the wait can be around an hour. But knowing that him and staff will do their best to help with any concerns makes it worthwhile.
Definitely recommend. 👍
