“The dental van provides a wonderful service to our students. If our students are healthy, they will be focused on learning. We are very appreciative of the partnership! Thank you!”
“Providing health education and skills-building for children is an investment in a lifetime of good health practices and contributes to a healthier childhood and adult life. The early care and education setting is an optimal place to teach, practice and nurture positive oral health skills and activities. Cumberland Family Medical Center programs such as Mr. Molar have been instrumental in providing these much needed services to our children.”
“Perhaps you have seen a large RV parked in front of a local school recently. Perhaps you have heard students talking about the dental bus, or perhaps you have seen a child packing a plastic pouch with toothpaste, a toothbrush, and dental floss. This dental bus is a wonderfully innovative way to bring dental health to children who otherwise may not have access to a dentist. My children have a fabulous dentist, but seen by a dentist while at school is a fantastic, cost effective way to ensure that my kids have their teeth cleaned regularly and checked for cavities. Although I am not present at the time of the treatment, I am given a report on my children’s dental health, with any issues highlighted for further treatment at my personal dentist. This service allows my family to keep both my kids’ teeth healthy and cavity-free. I encourage all parents to consider allowing your children, no matter how young or old, to have access to the dental bus and the dentists and technicians that serve in this capacity. Good dental health is important for a healthy body, and beginning the habits of dental hygiene early in childhood is a great start. I am thankful for the partnership between the dental bus and Russell County schools — it is certainly making a positive impact in our community!”
“Scrubby Bear and Mr. Molar were wonderful at our school! The students really enjoyed them and were really excited to see them come back this year! The presenters did a great job covering the topics in a very thorough and entertaining way to the students.”
“McCreary County Preschool truly enjoyed the Mr. Molar and Scrubby Bear program offered to us by Cumberland Family Medical Center. We highly recommend that schools and Early Childhood centers invite this program into your school. Our students range in age from 3 to 5 years old, every age student loved this program. I have had several parents comment that their child came home talking non-stop about Mr. Molar and Scrubby Bear as well as being excited about brushing their teeth. The Mr. Molar and Scrubby Bear characters were very kid-friendly and very energetic with the students. The program was very well implemented and very time-friendly to our student’s attention spans. I will definitely make this a yearly program offered to the students of McCreary County Preschool.”
“I am a widow and am on a fixed income. I cannot afford insurance if it was not for the ACA. I tried signing myself up, but was unable to get the application completed, but with the help of CFMC’s KyNectors, I now have insurance and can afford to go to the doctor when I need to. The KyNectors were so helpful and any time I have a question I still call her. She even called after I was enrolled to make sure I had received my insurance card. Thank you CFMC for caring about your patients and going above and beyond to make sure they have the best care possible.”
“Dr. Jones has a heart of gold. Her patience and genuine concern for my health and my children’s health is immeasurable. She is always so kind and truly listens to my concerns for my children, never allowing me to feel exaggerative. Her nursing staff and office personnel are always cheerful, kind, and respective to our needs. We appreciate her love for the job and are always so thankful and blessed to have her involved in our healthcare.”
“Sandra does a good job of managing my medications and takes good care of me.”
“The service, staff, and doctors are very good. They treat my family and I very well.”
“Dr. Jones is very professional and courteous. She has always listened and treated each complain or concern with the utmost attention. Tammy is equally as concerned and they do not rush you. The receptionist Sheila has always answered my questions when calling and I have never been turned away when an appointment is needed. I highly recommend this provider.”
“My family and I have been seeing Dr. Shirley since her practice first opened in Albany. We have always been impressed with her knowledge and bedside manner. My children have never complained or been afraid to see the doctor, even when shots are involved! She spends time talking to us and explaining everything in detail. We always leave feeling like we have been well taken care of.”
“Dr. Shirley takes medical care to the next level. She seamlessly balances her excellent bedside manner with her vast medical knowledge. In this day and time, it’s becoming increasingly rare to find this unique combination. Dr. Shirley has successfully built a team of nurses and office staff that is second to none. They work with Dr. Shirley to fill prescriptions promptly, schedule around conflicts and get their patients the best care available. When needed, everyone in her office will go above and beyond including calling pharmacies, consulting with doctors for referrals, and in the midst of sickness she reaches out for follow-ups. In a nutshell, Dr. Shirley treats you like family!”
