I have now been Dr. Shields' patient for several years and I have always received excellent care in all respects. As a geriatric client, it isn't uncommon for dermatological issues to effect or be effected by changes in other areas of my physical health, such as immunology, vascular health, and also rheumatology and podiatry. I deeply appreciate Dr. Shields' comprehensive approach to my skin care and health.
