How was your appointment with Dr. Shields?
Mar 22, 2016
Dr. Shields was very intentional about getting me a liver and due to his excellent relationship with the liver transplant doctors he was able to expedite the process. I have had a ERCPs and numerous colonoscopies from him and he is always very professional and very warm and caring at the same time. God has used Dr. Shields and Dr. Ahmed, my hematologist in saving my life and keeping me going. I am very grateful for Dr. Shields and I highly recommend him!!! He is a rare find-a top doctor!!!
