As always, Dr. Shiels spent time listening, discussing and developed treatment plan.

The medical staff here are always pleasant and professional.
They are timely and make sure that any testing is set up. I have been a patient here for many years now, and even though I have moved, I keep my Doctors here because they are that good!
