I was a Physician Assistant student who rotated with many doctors and was very impressed by Dr. Cashman. He always does a very thorough examination and presents the options that are available to the patient. He never decides something for a patient but is very good at discussing options with them and allowing them to make informed decisions on their care. He is always reading articles put out by his academy and strives to stay current with the most up to date information, making him an excellent teacher. However, I was most impressed with how down to earth and caring he is with his patients. He is mindful of costs of medicines and procedures and I respect how he handles his practice as both a business but way of helping others. After he asked me to work for him upon graduation I was confident that this would be a good fit for me and my family.

Dr. Cashman has helped me more than once, and I have left feeling satisfied. He is a good doctor, and I plan to keep seeing him.

After visiting numerous eye doctors in NWA and visiting with two different ENT doctors in my home town it was concluded that I needed to see an ENT to treat the infection in my tear duct that is possibly stemming from my sinuses. Someone suggested Steve Cashman. I immediately made an appointment as the infection is severe and it was an urgent situation. Dr. Cashman saw me for less than 10 minutes. In the 10 minutes he saw me he did not treat me for anything. He acted put out to event see me claiming that this was a job for an eye doctor. I was floored. I have never seen a doctor enter the room that way. He put a scope in my nose and told me he cannot help me and to get a CAT scan. He charge me nearly $400. The office would not bill me and was very persistent in getting their money from me. The problem is that it doesn't cost almost $400 to use a scope. After speaking with several ENT doctors (in my home town in NEA) they agreed that I had been ripped off and Dr. Cashman was completely out of line charging this price for this treatment (or lack of) and that I do not need to get a CAT scan for this infection. I hope that he is not ripping all of his patients off and I will be contacting my insurance company to look into the issue as it seems fishy and unheard of to charge this amount for what he did. I have never had a poor experience at a doctor's office until now. I was disappointed and my eye doctor at The Eye Center was very disappointed and gave me the name of a different ENT. I would never feel comfortable recommending Dr. Cashman to my family or friends knowing that there is a good chance they too will be ripped off and receive no treatment.
