Dr. Christopher Shields, MD

My sister, Brianna, had a deeply disappointing experience with Dr. Christopher Shields. Despite scheduling her appointment months in advance, she was informed last minute that the MRI machine was down, forcing her to split her visit into two separate appointments. This caused significant inconvenience and financial strain, as she had to take additional time off work and make two round trips from Evansville, Indiana.During her appointment, Dr. Shields was unprofessional and insensitive. Instead of focusing on her medical issues, he shamed her about her weight, despite knowing her condition limits her ability to exercise. He then left the room abruptly to call a radiologist and never returned, leaving her feeling dismissed and disrespected.Brianna deserves better care and respect. Dr. Shields' behavior was unacceptable. This review will also be sent to the Kentucky Board of Medical Licensure (KBML), the Office of Inspector General (OIG), and the Joint Commission.

Done review no respect owes me a apology

Disrespectful, no empathy, and doesn’t give patients time of day. Had the nerve to say I voluntarily didn’t move my arm when I sent proof from a defense doctor saying I was right. Can’t gaslight me ignorant and uncaring doctor

I have only had one visit with Dr Shields at this time. We had a good conversation about my issues, his staff was very helpful and showed compassion. I will be having surgery and, as of right now, I have full confidence in Dr Shields. I’ll leave another review after recovery.

Mechanically moved my head after being diagnosed with arthrogram and Mri with vertebral artery block. Told me “you are fine” and I have had brain damage that could have been stopped.

In 1978 , my daughter had a head injury and a golf ball sized blood clot formed on her brain. She was only 3, and I was terrified. Dr. Shield performed a surgery that was new at the time. It was a complete success. She is a wonderful, healthy, wife and mother, with her own business today! I would just like to say , Thank you for saving her life and talking with her dad and me and making us feel comfortable and informed about the surgery. I know it was a long time ago, but I wanted you to know how grateful we are for you!

Dr. Christopher Shields, is one of the meanest doctors I’ve ever met. He does not let you speak. He does not listen. He yells and screams at you. Do not waste your time, with this so called doctor. No one needs to be treated this way! I wouldn’t recommend him for anything

The meanest, most horrible staff. And if you think you’ll be able to talk to a doctor once you’ve had surgery, guess again. Horrible people.

In 2007 shields and Harpring fixed 2 brain aneurysms, I'm now 53 years old and still going, they did a great job, only problem I had was getting a follow up appointment, couldn't get past the office staff, I can't blame them for that though. I would still give them a 5 star rating David Harrell, Russell Springs , Ky.

Dr Shields should be avoided at all costs! He is very arrogant and cannot be bothered to speak with with his patients prior to surgery or after surgery. He feels that sending his PA to speak with you is a better use of his time. I have never had a surgeon not come top preop to mark the surgery site, and I have always had my surgeons check in the day after during rounds. His PA was very little help as she didn't do the surgery I had questions about. Ask for Dr Roqua instead!

I recently had surgery done by Dr. Shields. I had a congenital spine defect that recently took it's toll on me at the age of 35. Dr. Shields is a wonderful, intelligent, talented, to the point, up front doctor. I respect his work & thank God everyday that he was able to fix my back. It has been a long journey & a painful journey. Dr. Shields told me about my options of pain management and I chose to be pain free & have surgery. He did his job & while in surgery kept my family involved.

He was a nightmare!!!!! Don't ever go to such a mean doctor ! He wouldn't listen and screamed telling us to go to the door! I'm still in shock
