About Me

Dr. Shaun Spinks is a board-certified family medicine physician. He attended Louisiana Tech University where he received his Bachelor of Science in Animal Biology and a minor in Chemistry. He graduated from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans and completed his family medicine residency at Conroe Family Medical Education Foundation in Conroe, Texas.

Dr. Spinks was inspired to become a family physician when he volunteered as a medical student at the Baton Rouge River Center with the Baton Rouge General Family Medicine Residency Program in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. This experience proved beneficial during his residency in Texas, when Hurricane Ike hit Galveston, and he was ultimately selected as lead resident over the disaster management team for the residency and stayed the entire week at the hospital during that storm.

Natives of Zachary, Dr. Spinks and his wife have three children, Nathaniel, Mabry and Gabriel. His wife is also a clinician and graduated with her nursing degree and is a licensed RN. In his spare time, Dr. Spinks enjoys hunting, fishing, reading, listening to and playing music, collecting movies and traveling.

The nurse was very nice and very helpful

02/20/2025

During my recent visit, I had an excellent experience from start to finish. The front desk representative was welcoming and checked me in quickly and efficiently. Dr. Spinks' nurse was attentive and helped ease any anxieties I had about my first appointment. She took the time to listen to my healthcare concerns, verified my medical information, and collected my vitals in a professional and reassuring manner. Dr. Spinks exceeded my expectations with his outstanding bedside manner. He demonstrated genuine concern for my health and made sure that I felt heard and understood. What stood out the most was his role as an educator-he took the time to explain everything in clear, accessible language, which empowered me to actively participate in my healthcare decisions. I truly appreciated the collaborative nature of the visit. Dr. Spinks made me feel like a partner in my care, and I left the appointment with a clear plan and a renewed sense of direction. I look forward to continuing this patient-doctor relationship as we work together to manage my healthcare needs. Thank you to the entire team for a positive and supportive!

First visit w/ Dr Spinks to replace my GP of 35 ish yrs. I was very relieved. I like & respect Dr Spinks already. I can't remember his nurse name but she was great too.

01/07/2025

Everything was really well. The only problems I had was no one hardly picked up, I guess, at the office. It kept going to the main Baton Rouge general or whatever. It didn't go to the office directly. They I think were a little shorthanded that day I found out, so it's not a big deal.

01/08/2025

From the time I entered I was greeted with a smile. The staff was awesome and Dr. Spinks was amazing. He was very patient and he listened to what I had to say. So glad that this will be the home of my new medical family. I would highly recommend this office.

12/05/2024

I just really like that doctor's office. It is nice and comfortable to go to. It's not overcrowded like the ones that are near the hospital or in the hospital. It's really laid back and I love Dr. Spinks. He's awesome. He diagnosed a condition that I had for six months that caused me a lot of pain and no one else could touch it. I was going to the emergency room and they were saying nothing was wrong and in fact I have a disease in my hip that was causing me so much pain. I was really grateful for that. That's all I wanted to say.

12/05/2024

I am so thankful to have Dr. Spinks as my PCP. He is a very caring and respectful Dr. I was very pleased that he wanted to know about every aspect of my medical history, and listened very intently to me. Dr. Spinks is a very caring person. I was treated very respectfully.

I love Dr. Spinks' office because every time you go in there, you do not have a long wait. The staff is very courteous and very respectful. And I love Dr. Spinks because he listens to me.

03/06/2024

Not happy with the diagnosis determination and prescribed "treatment", seemingly without following best practices for it and/or additional labs/testing.

03/05/2024

The case manager and staff was unprofessional and had excuses for everything, including why they never return your calls. Dr Spinks is one of the best, and he is the only reason why I'm continuing to go to that clinic .

12/14/2023

It would be really good if you had an appointment confirmation reminder system. That would be great. So that would be the one thing that I think it would help the patients as well as the doctors to avoid no-shows. And it would definitely help me. So an appointment reminder system would be great where you actually call or, because I've never gotten a call from their office before. So thank you very much.

12/11/2023
