Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He is very professional and is helping my teenage daughter work through her feelings and how to handle life situations. She loves going to him.

Enabled my parents’ toxic behavior and prescribed pills that were of no help. I’ve been to many therapists after him, because of the harm he caused on my mental health in my teenage years. He is an enabler and only made my relationship with my parents worse.

My mom used him as a means of drugging and poisoning me during my formulative years and now I have no idea how much he messed up my brain chemistry by giving a child toxic chemicals and calling it medicine because I embarrassed my vice principal mother by not being an obedient drone and being a Young Man that's willful with a 117 IQ and by 11 the size of a tall full grown man that could whip most of my male teacher and school staff,which I didn't do, but in reality just didn't give adults the respect they think they deserved. Shields is a crook and complacent in the trend to turn american youths into addicts like Kurt cobain.

Dr. Shields might be good for basic things but he does not understand or recognize abusive personalities and ends up enabling family dysfunction.
