TESTIMONIALS
Dr. George and his staff have been outstanding in assisting me. He conducted a thorough exam and answered all my questions. From the moment he walked in, I knew I had found my new primary care provider. He took the time to get to know me and address any concerns I had. After my lab work, he followed up with the results and provided a comprehensive game plan. I highly recommend visiting him for all your healthcare needs.

He said he would call me with my bloodwork results, and he did – with helpful recommendations. I would recommend Dr. Shawn George D.O. to any man or woman in search of compassionate and excellent medical care.
