Dr. Julia Foster Shalen has been a tremendous help in guiding my son and our family through understanding and managing his autoimmune rheumatic disease. Her exams are consistently thorough, and she easily recalls which joints and areas were swollen during previous visits. Dr. Shalen carefully selects suitable treatment options and makes adjustments as needed with great attention.

Dr Shalen is wonderful. She's the first doctor in 2 years to listen to us regarding our daughter's health situation. She asked great questions to get more information from our teenage daughter.

I work in healthcare so I understand the system well. I also understand the difference between a good provider/practice and a subpar provider/practice. When speaking about Dr. Shalen and her team, I am confident stating the facts...they are not just good, they are great. Communication Is easy and responses are prompt. The care that my daughter receives Is stellar and we are happy to be part of a team that works collaboratively with us. I could go on and on, but we are so happy to have found this team!
