Dr. Richard C. Shinaman, MD

"Joan is so helpful and answers my questions perfectly...great at explaining my meds."

"Dr. Shinaman significantly reduced my neck pain so much so I decided to hold off on scheduling surgery. He listened to where I was having pain and developed a very creative/innovative monthly treatment plan along with prescribing necessary daily medications. As a result, my pain reduced to a manageable level and my quality of life has much improved. I would highly recommend Dr. Richard Shinaman and the Pain Medicine Consultant team!"

"Long delays for even phone appointments"

"Received a referal to Dr Shinaman for pain management. I called the office to make an appointment. After several days went by with out a call back I went to the web site to request a call back. I left over one dozen messages and online request for call backs.. After several more days I made an appointment on line. I arrived at the office had my email saying I had an appointment and the receptionist said it did not. She tried to inform me that it was a request for a call back when the email states clearly it is an appointment. Then she said oh it is for another location when it clearly states for the pleasant hill location. They cannot return phone calls and then they lie to cover it up. So unprofessional"

"I have been a patient of Dr. Shinaman for over 15 years. I not only have had office visits but also undergone surgery. He is an EXCELLENT doctor, his procedures and knowledge are unsurpassed. And he is a nice man!"
