Dr. Shelby and Nathan Tripod are absolutely amazing, they take care me, my husband and 6 year old son. We have never felt rushed during our appt. They are both very thorough and honestly care about our overall health and preventive care based on family hx, etc. The nursing staff is incredible, thorough with obtaining intake info, updating meds, allergies, etc. Lab techs great as well. Front staff- very accommodating and helpful, professional and polite mannerisms. Our family has been extremely pleased and blessed to have your care team at St. B First Care Matthews clinic.

This was my first time being seen at this office. I switched PCP's because I didn't feel like my problems were being heard and treated appropriately. I established care as a new patient under Dr.Tripod and she was amazing. I felt like I was heard and that she wanted to get to the bottom of why I was feeling the way I did. I was treated like a human being and not just like another patient. And it really helped that she was continuing education into weight management. I thank her and will continue seeing her as my PCP!

I'd just like to add, that I've never felt more heard by a physician or their team. I literally left this appointment, feeling as though I have FINALLY found my overall health home! I felt a deep sense of caring. And I have never had this feeling in the past, when entrusting my personal health, in a doctor's care. Thank you so much Dr. Shelby!!!

The receptionist that logged me in was extremely slow, didn't seem to really care, just moved in incredibly slow motion. She took about, I don't know, five, six minutes to even check me in when it could have been done in less than two minutes. But everything else was great. The doctor was great, the LPM was great, the technician was great. They were all great. They were all as quick as they could be. They came back in with the test results as quick as they could. Thank you.

I love my new PCP Dr Shelby Tripod. I moved to Jonesboro from Florida and we are waiting on medical records. Dr Tripod listened carefully and showed compassion towards me. Also, a "God Wink" moment, she and her sibling have the same name as two of my kids?
