Dr. Jodi Ann Shields, MD

She puts things in reports that never happen. How is a patient going to be treated if she falsifies results.

I do not trust Dr. Shields. She makes false statements about patients in her notes. She performs incomplete tests and then reports that the patient responded in a certain manner that would be impossible because those parts of the test weren't performed. I would NEVER recommend this doctor.

Everyone else said it was arthritis in my knee as my dad's family history would indicate ...but Dr. Shields identified a muscle weakness instead that was cured with 12 visits to physical therapy (plus some exercises at home). Hooray for Dr. Shields diagnosis expertise. My knee has been fine ever since.

Absolutely the worst doctor I have ever seen. Horrible bedside manner, ran over an hour and a half behind schedule, and has a very condescending attitude. I will not be returning to Florida Orthopedic.

Not seen until 515 FOR 3:15 Appt - no explanation. At 5:15 THEN SENT TO XRAYto delay visit even longer. Overall,it was at least 6 pm before seen by dr.All of this for a very elderly patient ina wheelchair who has trouble sitting andstanding due to severe pain. At least some briefing from staff as to the delay, expected wait time, etc. would have been appreciated. Don't even know if Dr. Shields was in office - very poorcustomer service as far as informing patients. After being overheard at 5:15, assistant decided to take vitals and then send us to x-ray and superficially apologized for the wait.Delays are typical of FOI - last visited with same patient 10 years ago - nothing has changed, regardless of dr. you see.

She is the worst ..... I have no more to say

I waited over an hour to see her. 45 minutes of that was spent in a gown in the room. She was very cold when she came in and never even introduced herself. She was so rude to me, i started crying. That is when she abruptly left the room and never returned. Her nurse came in with two precriptions for procedures that I have no idea what they were. I reported her to Quality Control.I left the office in tears and none of the office staff cared.

Besides being over an hour late, she never introduced her self. She never explained the procedure. When I asked questions she was course and condescending.

I thought I was just seen by an HMO doctor. She was in and out before I knew it and didn't even tell me she was done. I had to get more info from the assistant. Very poor experience and will be going to someone else from now on.

i had been going to FOI for over 3 years, Dr. Sagi who is a fantastic doctor put my paetella back together after a fall. Dr.Herson was my pain management doctor, Dr. H, had a diagnosis RSD of an did not want to operate, thought that the surgery would cause too much pain. Dr. Herson was my pain management doctor and he was terrific. Dr. Billys inserted a spinal cord stimulator to help with the pain. He is also a wonderful doctor. When Dr. Herson left FOI, I was given Dr.Shields as my new doctor. She is rude, arrogant, narcisstic and talks terrible about her own children. The wait for her was always at least 2 hours. I had been faithful to FOI for 3 years, she decided I needed my knee replaced and sent me to see Dr. Bernasek. He did not want to operate because of the RSD. While visiting him, I found out that Dr. Herson had opened his own practice in Land O Lakes, FL (Pasco Co.). I was so glad to leave Dr. Shields and be with a real doctor again. I have never had a doctor that was so rude… and thought she knew more than orthopaedic surgeons.
