Dr. Shelnutt gave me an abortion.. and I wasn’t even pregnant. PLEASE READ. I have been avoiding writing this review for months because it was truly the most traumatic experience I have lived through. Back in January of this year, I decided to get an IUD. Dr. Shelnutt prescribed me 800 mcg of misoprostol as a cervical softener to help ripen my cervix before the procedure. I vaginally inserted 4 (200 mcg) pills of misoprostol. As soon as they began to dissolve, I knew I made a terrible mistake. The stomach cramps began immediately and every attempt to dig out the pills did not work. For 8 hours straight I experienced painful contractions almost every minute, vomiting, fever, constant shaking, and intense bleeding for weeks after. I canceled the procedure and Dr. Shelnutt gave me oxy and valium to ease the pain. It did not help whatsoever. After that terrible day, I began to do my research and consult other gynecologists. The recommended dosage of misoprostol as a cervical softener is 25- 50 mcg. The recommended amount of misoprostol for a medical abortion within the first trimester is 600- 800 mcg. As I stated earlier, I had vaginally inserted 800 mcg of misoprostol. This caused me to “go into labor” and experience extremely painful contractions for 8 hours, with nothing being pushed out of my uterus. Below I have inserted a photo of my prescription bottle as well as a screenshot from the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and a statement by The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Dr. Shelnutt is solely responsible for my most traumatic experience and I urge others to not go to him. Even though I had received professional opinions that this was malpractice, he never admitted that he did anything wrong. If I could afford a lawyer, I would have sued him immediately.

Creepy vibes from Dr. Shelnutt, felt like a predator. I've heard bad things about him from other women too, and moms of daughters.

One of the worst experiences I've seen someone go through at any doctor's office. My sister, who has always been quite nervous about her body, went in early this morning to get on birth control. She was sl(u)tshamed and told to wait until marriage. If you have to ask to have a private conversation with someone in order to say such a misogynistic degrading thing to a woman, then maybe you shouldn't speak. You have truly disturbed my family. I hope someone sees this and stays very very far away from you.

I came to see Dr. Shelnutt about getting an IUD because I had painful cramps and thought an IUD could help. His first question to me was if I was in a committed relationship. I was confused. What did that have to do with me wanting and IUD for cramping? I told him no, but that I was not sexually active. He would not give me and IUD because I was not in a committed relationship, which is absolute garbage. I know plenty of women not in committed relationships who have IUDs. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Wonderful doctor! I have never had a doctor who made me feel so comfortable. Doctors can sometimes be harsh and rude but Dr. Shelnutt is very kind and encouraging.

Dr Shelnutt and his entire staff is wonderful. The whole process can be daunting but they are with you every step of the way! Marybeth and Tonya were always so helpful as well. At every visit they tried to get me and out quickly which shows they care about your time. He always addressed my concerns & took the time it needed to answer any questions at each visit. Because I had to have a c-section, I wanted a natural cesarean, and he got as close as possible to all my requests. I was able to see my son at the time of his arrival and hold him maybe 3 minutes after birth. My baby stayed with me from then on out, while Dr. Shelnutt, finished the c-section. I cannot express enough, what an excellent doctor he is.

I was concerned about test results and Dr Shelnutt encouraged me to wait it out. After changing doctors I discovered that had I waited I was increasing my risks of cervical. I discovered through more thorough testing that I was a high risk and actually precancerous results for cervical cancer. Had I waited as instructed, in would have ultimately developed cervical cancer. Get tested, demand it, or find a doctor that will do it.
