My son has been in Dr. Shelton's cate for years and has made tremendous progress while coming through serious dx and some lifelong conditions. He is always included and respected. She talks to him about his health related to her field of care and his interest .

Dr Shelton was excellent. She spent a long time throughly explaining everything to us and answering all questions. I never felt rushed.

I was so overwhelmed when we arrived, because my son was having such a hard time. I was met with so much patience, kindness, and understanding by everyone we encountered. Dr. Shelton spoke to me in a way that felt like a mother talking to another mother, and I cannot express with words how appreciative I am for the time she took to listen and talk with me through everything to expect, as well as gave me some extremely helpful tips and information on preparing my child for his upcoming sleep study.
