Dr. Stephen shields has been with me for almost 20 years. It’s been a heartbreaking relationship in the sense that he’s watched me have eyesight, lose eyesight and then get a prosthetic in my right eye. He is absolutely knowledgeable about what’s happening with my eye and has always been very respectful, kind, and I feel very included in our medical relationship. I hope to be with him for another 40 years. I don’t know where I would be without Dr. Stephen shields the eye is a very personal part of the body and I wouldn’t trust anyone with it. I drive over 2 1/2 hours to see because of how valuable he is in my family’s life in terms of caring for my eye.

Dr. Shields is an excellent eye doctor. I don’t want to go any other ophthalmologist because I’ve been going to him for years.
