If we had known that the waiting room was shared by the immediate care clinic we would have chosen another facility

Dr. Shields is probably the best doctor I have ever seen. He has never seemed in a hurry and really listens. The whole practice has a feel of happy people that enjoy what they do. Can't praise this doctor and those around him enough. I have seen a lot of doctors this year. None better.
