Iris L. Shields, DDS

Unsanitary, yelled at employee for switching gloves. Hopefully not the same employee that the other person is referring to! I would rather have a dentist cut costs in other areas rather than sanitary practices. Dr. Shields was not unpleasant to interact with, but I’d rather have a mean doctor who is clean than a nice one who won’t spend money on a clean experience.

Dr. Shields has been taking great care of my wife and I for over 10 years now. She has become someone that we trust and for me that’s not easy. You see my very first trip to the dentist was over 40 years ago and I have never forgotten that frightening painful experience. For that reason I would put off trips to the dentist. Now I am confident that when I go to the dentist I’m going to be treated by a dedicated caring Dentist. She has a staff that follows the shadow of their leader and help make my experience there a great one. She and her staff really put you at ease! I jokingly say to Dr. Shields «Give me what the kids get» relax and let her do what she has to do. Great Dentist with a great staff!

I had a great first visit with Dr. Shields and her team. My hygienist was friendly and very gentle. Dr. Shields made me feel relaxed and seems to really enjoy her profession.

I was a patient of Dr. Shields for about 7 years before moving out of state, She is such a good dentist that I drove 1.5 hours to keep going back to her. I had a trauma to my mouth when I was a teenager and got some pretty bad dental work from other dentists. I then started going to Dr. Shields and she immediately started fixing everything. She went above and beyond for me on several different occasions. I needed several years worth of work and she was there for me the whole way. There were many times that she squeezed me in for a emergency. She even recommended a oral surgeon who fixed my lip that was deformed from the trauma, I didn’t even know it could be fixed. She was able to make my teeth look like nothing had ever happened to them. I’m not sure what I would have done without her.
