"I have to say, over the last 3 years I have gone from 1 end of the state to the next searching for real answers and not to just thrown on meds and forgotten about. I was so nervous going to my appointment thinking that I was going to get the same treatment from here but Dr. Shoemaker not only listened to me, he treated me like a person and took what I said seriously. You can truly feel his compassion for you, if I could give 100 stars I would!"

"I retired from Washington, DC and moved to rural North Carolina and thankfully found Dr. Shoemaker. There are so many things I appreciate about Dr. Shoemaker and about the way he practices medicine - he is competent, thorough, thoughtful, patient, creative, warm, and highly responsive. I especially like that he truly listens to his patients and considers their views, questions and ideas. If you're looking for a top-tier rheumatologist, look no further than Dr. Shoemaker."

"I was referred to Dr. Shoemaker from my primary and I'm so happy they did. I've been suffering for a while now and not finding any answers. Dr. Shoemaker listened to every concern and took the necessary actions to find exactly what's going on. He has great bedside manners and explains things the best way I can understand. He's progressive in treatment and is a full on advocate for my health. I'm extremely pleased."

"Dr Shoemaker is a caring and kind man on top of being one of the most knowledgeable and professional physicians I have ever met. Being an RN myself I know how fortunate I am to have him as my Dr. I don’t know where I would be without his expert care and I can’t begin to thank him enough."
