Patient Reviews
Feb 08, 2019
I thank Dr. Shields everyday as I am now able to walk without pain. Prior to having a total right hip replacement I could barely walk a 1/2 mile. Now I walk 1-3 1/2 miles 5 days a week. Dr Shields patiently answered my questions, gave me the facts and let me make the decision.
