Patient Reviews
May 09, 2016
This practice is efficiently run. Dr. Shelsta has a wonderful bedside manner and goes the extra mile to communicate with ALL of my doctors (I have several health issues) as well as provide me with summaries of my office visits. She is pleasant, well-spoken, smart and easy to talk to. I feel very comfortable in her practice.
