Paris Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce the addition of Shaun Spinks, M.D., a family practice physician, to the medical staff.

“It is my pleasure to welcome Dr. Spinks to our team and to our community,” said Chris Dux, CEO of Paris Regional Medical Center. “Across the country—and especially in Texas—there is a shortage of primary care physicians. We are so blessed that Dr. Spinks has chosen to make Paris his home.”
According to a recent report from the American Academy of Family Physicians, Florida, Texas and California have been the hardest hit with the shortage of primary care physician. In Texas, only 25 percent of counties had enough primary care physicians to serve their populations, while 24 counties had no primary care doctors at all.

Dr. Spinks will join Dr. John Durham, Dr. Chad Trammell and nurse practitioner Kendra Proctor at Paris Family Physicians located at 1128 Clarksville on August 3rd.

Appointments may be scheduled now by calling 903-785-4362.

Dr. Spinks is a graduate of Louisiana State University School of Medicine and completed his residency at the Conroe Family Medicine Education Foundation in Texas. During his residency, Dr. Spinks was the recipient of several awards, including The Appreciation Award for Compassion and The Appreciation Award for Excellence in Clinic. He received his undergraduate degree from Louisiana Tech University in Ruston, LA.

Dr. Spinks moves to Paris with his wife and two children.
