Dr Shields is a pro. Although it feels she is impossible to get in to they often have cancellations. After dealing with another derm over the hill for 5 weeks with ineffective and stressful results, Dr Shields knew exactly the best treatment for me and included other impacted areas most derms would shy away from - because she is comprehensive and thorough.
She is a class act, the best kind of nerd and runs an effective business. She has the experience that matters. If I weren’t already grown up I’d aspire to be like her. I can’t thank this office enough.

Dr Shields was very pleasant to talk to. she listened to my concerns and explained to me her thoughts about diagnostic and treatment, including things she was not sure about. I found that very reassuring, She did a little procedure efficiently and painlessly. I would recommend her, she was very easy to talk to and I felt I could trust her

Molly Shields is a competent doctor. The problem is with the nurses. I left three messages regarding the results of a biopsy, with no response. After three weeks, I finally left a message with the switchboard asking for the results and an appointment to have the area frozen off was given the next day. There was no apology, no recognition that the nurses weren't responding, only an angry glare from the nurse. If you have a biopsy there, you need to follow through on your own. Do not bother leaving a message with the nurses. Molly Shields burned off the area. Please know that you need to speak up with this office.
