I have been seeing this doctor for about a year now, due to her being the only doctor that accepts my insurance and is close by. To make a long story short, I have a history of serious medical issues that were not being addressed by "doctor" Burton-shannon whatsoever. She even went as far to tell me that my two previous gynos falsely diagnosed me and that I no longer had this serious medical issue and that it went away by itself. Clearly the condition I have does not go away and requires surgery at some point and I was even ... read more

She's very very rude and hateful. She's not punctual at all I waited 2 hours just to come to my appt that I had scheduled a month ahead of time. She doesn't spend much time with patients. She won't listin to any concerns the patient may have. I'm having severe complications with my iud and she refuses to take it out. She says "Theres no reason to take it out" She's not confidential. Not a good Dr. for a expecting mother either. Please go some where else!

She is a very hateful doctor. When I was in the hospital right out of ICU she called me and cursed at me for no reason. My hospital stay was in another country and had nothing to do with her! She is your best friend as long as you pack food into her. I have been her patient for the last 16 years. She done ok in the beginning as a PCP after leaving her Carthage office with Dr. Pickett she became onory and mean. I have heard her curse other patients. She got to when I called her about something she would answer and say "WHAT D... read more

I was supposed to have my first appointment today at 1 o'clock. I showed up at 1 and was told they were late getting back from lunch. At 1:15 I was able to stand in line to wait my turn at the window to get my paperwork. I received my paperwork and filled it out, none of which was medical history by the way, after I filled out my paperwork I was finally called back at 2 o'clock, 1 hour after my initial appointment. At 2 o'clock I had my blood drawn and was told to disrobe and wait in the room. By 300 I still had not seen the... read more

She is rude,unprofessional and lacks bedside manners.She is knowledgable but does not listen to her patinets and does not explain things at all..She makes fun of her staff and her patinets openly in the hallway.You can hear all of it while you wait in your room to be seen.I will not be going back to her ever again.

I love Dr. Shannon! I've been a patient of hers for three years now. She has even done my hysterectomy. Every visit the staff are friendly and the office is neat. I've never had to wait longer than 20 minutes to be seen. She does seem rushed sometimes, but I think it's her sweet and hyper bubbly personality and just the way she is, also some people are just fast talkers. Also she is a obgyn, medical emergencies do happen. One appointment she had to rush because she had just found out a patient was in labor. She has always ex... read more

The staff was very nice but cant say the same about the doctor. I saw her once all info I received came from the nurse. I was also told that I was 5 weeks. I called back a week later to get a list of restriction for my employer because I also have back problems and she referred me to a physical therapist who was told that I was 10 to 12 weeks and this was a week later. On my last visit with the therapist I was told that I am no w 16 weeks and I have only been going there for 2 weeks now. Dr. Shannon is not the doctor for me ... read more

I went to see this doctor because I had moved and my regular obgyn is an hour away... Horrible Dr. Very rushed, she does not explain anything. If you ask any questions she just gets huffy almost rude and tells you she already told you the answer when infact she has not. I went to see her for infertility and very frequent cycles. Her website stated that is in her service criteria. I was never given an explanation for anything, my appointments were rushed, she did do an endo biopsy which was for ''endometrial dating'', I was g... read more
