Patient Reviews
Aug 22, 2024
I had a colonoscopy with Dr. Shield, and he went above and beyond even calling me on the July 4th weekend to answer my questions. His report was very thorough and complete. He and his office have followed up to make sure that I was having the necessary follow up testing done. I have moved out of the area, and I am sorry because I was so pleased with my interaction with him as my doctor.
