Dr Shelton is an extraordinary physician. She is warm and friendly upon arrival, well-informed, thorough, attentive. She communicates clearly and listens with intelligence and compassion. I trust that we are a team. I have had other physicians that do not have her talents for working with patients and believe she epitomizes the best in patient care.
