Professional. Courtesy

11/11/2025

I moved 20 plus miles into town. I had to request to keep Dr. Spinks twice. My insurance kept changing me to a provider closer to where I live now. I would rather take off from work and drive to see Dr. Spinks at this clinic. They have been that good to me!

11/07/2025

07/21/2025

I've been seeing Dr. Shaun Spinks for years now, and I have to say-he's one of the good ones. The kind of doctor you feel comfortable calling "Doc." He's got that old-school family doctor vibe-someone who genuinely cares, listens, and takes his time with you. I remember first going to him around 30-34 years ago when he was just starting out. Back then, it was just him in the same building he's in now, but it was much quieter. There wasn't anyone drawing blood or helping out-it was simple. But over the years, he's grown into a solid, welcoming practice without losing that personal touch. What stands out about Dr. Spinks is how thorough he is. In a time when it's hard to find doctors who truly pay attention and care, he's remained grounded, compassionate, and real. I've dealt with a very rare form of cancer-something that most doctors don't fully understand, especially with how fragmented the medical system is today. But Dr. Spinks didn't treat me like a case file. He treated me like a whole person. He may not have been a specialist in that specific condition, but he understood me, and that made all the difference. He's the kind of doctor who makes you feel like you're not alone in it. I'm incredibly grateful for him. If you're looking for a doctor who really sees you and takes the time to care, Dr. Spinks is the one.

07/28/2025

I love Dr.Spinks and I am glad I switched over to him last year! Very thorough and caring!

07/22/2025

The appointment went off smoothly, no long waits and everyone was very professional and polite.

07/18/2025

Dr. Spinks and every single person that I've had contact with in his office is top notch. And that is coming from a 30 plus year nurse. I would recommend him to my friends, to my family, to anyone who needed a good doctor. I'm very pleased with him and his staff.

07/14/2025

My experience was this was my first visit to establish myself as a new patient and I was very pleased with the staff and with Dr. Spinks. He is a very knowledgeable person and he listened to me and I really like him.

Dr. Spinks is wonderful! He really listens to what you have to say before working with you to come up with a treatment plan.

04/09/2025

Your call center is pitiful. You need to think it out where a patient can get back to the doctor without going through an interrogation. So, I'm totally dissatisfied with your call center. When you need answers to medical, you need them there. You don't need to talk to someone about nothing. Thank you.

04/08/2025

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.

The front desk attendant was very nice and pleasant. She smiled as she greeted us and was very good at checking me in. The nurse was thorough and professional but friendly too. Dr Spinks is awesome. We look forward to seeing them all again at our follow up appointment! They're great!

I couldn't be happier with Dr. Spinks and his entire office. He listens to what I have to say and I am always treated with respect and concern by all personnel.

Dr. Spinks was on top of all my prescriptions and understood my challenges. He is a kind, compassionate and down to earth doctor. My first visit was a few days ago and I've already referred him to 4 people. The staff was great too. The nurse that helped me was so good! She was thoughtful and very good at drawing blood!
