I would like to announce that I have received additional subspecialty training in varicose vein treatments and have become proficient in endovenous radiofrequency therapy and in performing mini-phlebectomies which have become the standard of care for treating varicosities. Most insurance companies, including Medicaid, Medicare, Humana, and Caresource, (etc) now provide coverage for these outpatient, minor procedures performed under local anesthesia with no down time for the patients. The procedures are 99% successful. We are accepting new patients! Please call (740) 420-8329 for a consultation appointment.

I have also received subspecialty training in the care of chronic wounds and provide wound care, including hyperbaric oxygen treatments, at Berger Health Systems. Please call (740) 420-8395 for appointments.

And, I still provide routine pap and pelvic exams to established gynecology patients. I appreciate all my patients who have come to me for care and endeavor to meet as …many needs as I can through the biopsychosocial-spiritual model.

I consulted Dr Shields for my varicose veins. I had previous surgery for a varicose vein by a different doctor and was hesitant to have surgery again, especially since my first surgery required general anesthesia. I am so glad that I saw Dr Shields and had this procedure done. My experience was very different from the first time. There was minimal discomfort, no down time, and no general anesthesia. I was able to immediately return to work and my daily routine. I would highly recommend Dr Shields and this procedure.

Getting my varicose veins and reflux fixed by Dr. Shields was virtually painless and one of the simplest outpatient procedures you can do. Six months later I have no reflux in either leg and, the ugly varicose veins that were once there are completely gone. No more swollen legs, no more "purple toe or purple foot". I would recommend the procedure and Dr. Shields to anyone. I already have.

I was having a lot of pain and swelling in my legs. Then I found Dr. Joy. She felt that surgery would help the pain. I am now going for my 6 month check up. I have no more pain from my veins. Anytime I called with a question Penny has taken care of it in a timely manner. Penny is a really blessing on this team.

Six months ago, Dr. Shields did a great job on the venous ablation on my legs. Three days ago, she performed a follow-up with a bit of sclerotherapy. What an incredible procedure, extremely little pain and very fast results. I had some minor bruising for two days, but now the veins look much better and are to improve even more over time!

Dr. Shields does listen to her patients, never seems hurried. She was the first to detect my breast cancer (when I had no idea!). She properly diagnosed, saw that I received the best treatment available in a timely manner, followed up and truly cared. I am now a 5 yr. survivor. I highly recommend her as a truly caring and competent physician!!!

Dr. Joy Shields is outstanding. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a gynecologist! She has always spent time with me talking about anything and everything that I may be concerned with, over and above the normal doctor /patient relationship.

I saw Dr. Shields for vein treatment and was pleased with the results. My legs do not tire as easily anymore and I seldom have leg cramps. Before treatment I had cramps every day. Staff was friendly and scheduling was easy with very little wait time.
