Rocknrobinz Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I just got an appt.with Dr. Shields at Cleveland Clinic (Cleveland) but can't get in until Jan. 30, 2007. Does anyone know if this Dr. is worth waiting for? Anyone know any other Dr. at Cleveland Clinic that I should try to get in to see?RobinBZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunfish Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 i'm a big fan of dr. shields but - to my knowledge - one of only 2-3 people on the site who have seen him. here's a link to my previous post about him (just scroll down to my posting under the initial question):http://dinet.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtop...&hl=shieldshope this helps, melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pl8ump Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 as far as i know he is the head of the dept. he has a good rep. i do all the legwork for my wife and we went to ccf about 2 weeks ago. originally scheduled w/shields for nov 30 and got on their cancellation list. they called and said his partner dr. chemali was available on oct. 20, so we took it. then they called, had someone back out for aug. 30, so we went. this guy was great. awesome bedside manner! he listens well to her history, asks a ton of questions and pieced the puzzle together. we are going back in nov. for 2 days of extensive testing and then go back a 3rd time when he gets the results. other than NIH (dec. 2003), we have never gotten as far as we did 2 weeks ago w/this guy. we also have an appt. w/dr. grubb in mar. '07. we are definitely keeping that as well. chemali also has her scheduled to see another neuro that is the headache specialist there, dr. stillman. he has a great rep. also.
