About
Valerie Shields
I tailor my approach to each of my patient's unique needs. I listen to patients and give them an opportunity to tell me their story. I take time to answer questions. I try to provide education and be as thorough as possible when I provide recommendations. My journey into medicine was fueled by the desire to directly impact patients' lives. Specializing in gastrointestinal (GI) medicine allows me to address issues that can have a large impact on a person's day-to-day life. Patients find reassurance that there is a plan in place. I'm here to support them and they have someone to reach out to. When I can see an improvement in a patient's quality of life and prevent a bad outcome, that feels rewarding to me. I enjoy being able to diagnose problems, offer solutions, and witness tangible improvement. It's a privilege to make a positive impact on patients' well-being and to provide them with the care and support they need to thrive.Services
