Dr. Sheffield's care and concern for me as a patient and as a whole person always come through. I feel listened to and heard, never rushed. He makes sure all health concerns are addressed (mine and his) and we discuss options & next steps. Dr. Sheff always checks back in with me for understanding, making sure that I understand what has been discussed and I am clear on anything I am supposed to do (check my BP, get labs, change RX, etc.).
