Dr. Shields was amazing. I went in for a second opinion and feeling as if I was counting down my days. After Dr. Shields assessed me, reviewed my previous records, and had me take test so that she and I could see everything together, I left her office feeling and knowing I was healthy as I was before. She took her time to thoroughly explain and make sure I understood everything. I would highly recommend Dr. Shields and would most definitely become an established patient. Also her staff is very professional and friendly from the front to the back. Thank you so much Dr. Shields. ??????????‘S

May 2, 2019Peggy T.Verified patient
For two years I’ve been going to different doctors. Cardio, neuro, ent and many others. Same symptoms each time and they have all pretty much said it’s all in my head and have prescribed me medicine from Vyvanse to Beta blockers.. everyone tells me it’s this or that but none of what they say it is has anything to do with symptoms. Finally I saw dr Shields and she found the problem in a couple hours, others haven’t found it in years. Great doctor and incredibly thorough
