I HAVE BATTLED BIPOLAR AND DEPRESSION FOR 18 YEARS. I WAS GOING TO ANOTHER DR AND HE WOULD GIVE ME ANOTHER PILL TO COUNTERACT ANOTHER SIDE EFFECT WHICH ADDED UP TO 7 OR 8 PILLS A DAY AND MY CONDITION WAS STILL NOT UNDER CONTROL! DR SHELTON TOOK ME OFF ALL OF MY MEDICINE AND STARTED FROM SCRATCH, BEGINNING WITH A THOROUGH HISTORY AND DIAGNOSIS. I HAVE NEVER FELT BETTER. IT TOOK A FEW MONTHS TO TWEEK MY MEDS BUT SINCE THEN, I'M FINALLY FEELING NORMAL. HE WILL HELP YOU AND HE'S VERY CARING AND PATIENT. GOOD LUCK!

I have been a patient of Dr. Shelton's for the past fifteen years and have always been impressed with his professional / personal approach to each and every situation !! If he is not competent in any certain situation, he will direct you to someone whom is !!
