Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Would not recommend
He's clearly knowledgeable and has many years of experience, but I could tell right away he wouldn't provide the type of care we needed. When I called later and talked to the nurse about a concern, she was dismissive and acted like I was stupid.

Dr. Shields didn't seem the least bit interested in my concerns. Dr. Shields & his nurse were complete opposite. They went as far as talking about me rudely in the hallway before seeing me in the room. I have suffered from environmental and food allergies & asthma for 37 years. My concerns were that I may have developed new ones. He informs me I don't have allergies & that he won't test me for anything. I will NOT recommend him to anyone!!

Not only did he not listen to anything that I said to him but he walked in the exam room with his mind made up that he couldn't help. He was demeaning and arrogant. Heaven forbid he listen to his patients since they live in their own bodies.
