“Dr Sheldon was amazing! He had great bedside manners and was great at listening to my concerns. He made sure to explain everything and was just an all around great experience.”
Sashe H.April 6, 2026
“Here’s a shortened version under 1000 characters:
I had a great experience with this doctor. I’ve dealt with stomach issues my entire life and always assumed it was acid reflux. When I explained that, he didn’t just accept it — he asked questions and took the time to look deeper into my symptoms.
He explained it could actually be a bacterial condition that may have been dormant and triggered over time. Instead of guessing, he ordered the proper exams and tests so he could diagnose and treat it correctly.
He also reviewed the medication I was taking and questioned why I was on it, then prescribed something less aggressive and better suited for my situation.
It was a relief to finally feel heard and have a doctor who wanted to find the real cause instead of just continuing the same treatment.”

About Dr. Sheldon Pownall
Hello, I’m so glad to meet you. My name is Dr. Pownall, and I want you to know that I genuinely care about your health and well-being. I’m deeply passionate about patient care, and one of the most rewarding parts of what I do is being able to see the progress my patients make in their health journey over time. I don’t just focus on symptoms—I take the time to understand your health as a whole, because every part of your well-being matters.
I’m here to support and guide you, to listen without judgment, and to work with you toward meaningful, lasting health improvements. I also want to warmly welcome you, no matter your background. I value and respect every patient’s unique story and cultural experience, and I believe that inclusive care leads to stronger, more trusted partnerships. Together, we’ll take steps toward better health—and I’m honored to walk that path with you.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy exploring art, trying new restaurants, traveling, and staying active through workouts. I also really value spending time with others—whether that’s at social gatherings or getting involved in the community.
I have a strong interest in helping patients manage a few key areas of their health, with a focus on education, prevention, and personalized care: Diabetes: I work closely with patients to prevent, detect, and manage diabetes. My approach includes guidance on healthy eating, staying active, using medications when needed, and helping you understand how to monitor your blood sugar and avoid complications. High Blood Pressure (Hypertension): I help patients take control of their blood pressure through lifestyle changes, medications, and regular follow-up care. The goal is to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other serious problems. Women’s Health: I provide care for women at all stages of life, including routine screenings, support for menstrual or menopause-related concerns, and overall wellness and mental health support.

During my visit, the doctor initially thought my chart showed I had diabetes. Later, when he called, he believed it indicated I had a hematoma on my brain—though I’ve never had diabetes, and the hematoma was actually in my back, not my brain. Despite the confusion, he handled the situation professionally and was very reasonable about addressing the items I needed. His bedside manner was excellent.
