      No major decisions were made due to waiting on blood test and more notes from other specialist. He will coordinate and get a plan that's right for my brother. He Is very patient and understanding. My brothers case Is very complicated.

      Dr Shelton was very thorough asking about history and symptoms I was experiencing. He offered testing to further assist in his diagnosis. He explains his thought process to me and allowed my input into possible treatments. Dr Shelton called me after hours to give me the result of my lab tests and recommended Immediate follow up at the UK ER. Any other physician may have waited until the next day to do this, But Dr Shelton went above and beyond in handling my care. I certainly appreciated this.

      Dr. Shelton is, hands down, the best provider I've had in my life. I hope his Innate ability to connect and care for patients Isn't lost as the extreme demands of our broken healthcare system start to weigh down on him. This is a new practice so I'm sure the lack of experience with the staff in the clinic will work itself out.
