Dr. Shelton was very informative and answered my questions. Really liked her and felt she showed care and concern. Visited for a second opinion and feel she is very qualified and will be using her as my vascular doctor.

The total procedure was explained before the event. The nurses and staff were most helpful in making me comfortable--including extra blankets when I was cold. They even provided a blanket for my sister who was there with me to help me undress and dress. Follow up instructions were clear and I understood what I needed to do. A good experience for me.
