“The front desk staff were nice and personable. The NP was great, very informative and asked if i had questions and answered all of my questions. The staff were also very accommodating when I called the office and needed clarification on a few things. They took less than a day to get back to me both times. I would definitely recommend.”

“I have not been to a women’s health doctor in over 2 years because of a horrible experience with another GYN I had prior to seeing Dr. Shinault. My first appointment with her was everything I needed; I felt seen, heard and she was extremely helpful and prompt in addressing next steps for my issues. I got prescriptions I haven’t had for weeks filled right away and I see her again for a follow up at the end of the month to start tackling health problems I was too worried to bring up to other providers. Could not recommend enough!”

Sara was wonderful! She was friendly, knowledgable, and made me feel very comfortable in what I'm sure many women can relate to as a vulnerable setting. The entire experience was stress free and I'm happy to have found a great provider!

I am a very nervous patient but Sara made sure she explained everything step by step. I felt very comfortable the entire time. She listened to me, validated me, and ensured my concerns would be addressed and not brushed off like I’ve experienced in the past with other providers.
March 13, 2026Annmarie B.Verified patient
I had my first gynecology appointment and was extremely scared and nervous going into it. Sarah was absolutely amazing and made the entire experience so much better than I expected. She took the time to talk me through everything that was going to happen and answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed or uncomfortable.
Before doing anything, she explained exactly what she was going to do, which really helped calm my nerves. She also checked in with me every step of the way to make sure I was okay and asked if I was in any pain, which made me feel very cared for and comfortable.
She was patient, gentle, and made sure I felt at ease the whole time. That meant a lot to me, especially since it was my first visit.
I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Sarah to anyone who may be feeling nervous about their appointment. She truly made a stressful situation feel much easier.
