The best quality care! Dr Shumate and his staff(Shanae) are amazing. The front desk is always very kind, efficient, helpful. Dr Shumate is the best at really listening to you and looks at the big picture addressing all your health issues and where you might need to follow up with a specialist. He is a brilliant man with a very kind disposition who truly cares for and about his patients. Can’t say enough good things about Dr .Shumate and his staff

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. 👍
