I went to see Dr. Shields for my knee that had already been reconstructed once. It had been 10 years since its reconstruction and I took a bad step chasing a fly ball in left field. Damaged my meniscus some more along with the articular cartilege at the end of the femur. Dr. Shields gave it to me straight and said I need to preserve what I have left and not do high impact activities. He did all that could be done and my knee is as good as it can be considering the damage that's within. Dr. Shields has always been accessible to me. He's very friendly, professional, and he exudes extreme competence and intelligence. I have already recommended him to a colleague who can attest to Dr. Shields being an excellent doctor. I will continue to see Dr. Shields for any issue I might have in the future. There might be some rare equals, but none better than him.

Took my mother here to get her shoulder checked out. Every other doctor we went to wanted to immediately start "cutting". Dr. Shields was very thorough and professional. He wanted to make sure that surgery was the last option and gave us other options to pursue meanwhile. He has great warmth and compassion for his patients, which is pretty rare for a doctor these days. The only negative is the hour wait we usually have to deal with when seeing him, despite having an appointment.
