I took a few notes during the visit but was surprised that the items that seemed important to me were not included in the visit report while there were plenty of boilerplate items - things that would not change visit to visit.

Lab-based, data driven care is provided. I'm seeing a functional doctor, though, for guidance on diet and supplements and life-style changes, as well as additional testing for my thyroid health and holistic treatment of my autoimmune disease: Hashimoto's. Dr. Shell has shown resistance in ordering additional testing for antibodies and other thyroid tests. She tested them once but said she would not treat based upon those results. I had to ask her to physically examine my thyroid gland. I appreciate her friendly bed-side manner. I'm looking for a whole-body approach, though. This is why I am supplementing my care with a functional medical doctor. It would be great to consolidate with one practitioner, but I understand Dr. Shell's approach as an endocrinologist. Overall I would recommend Dr. Shell to friends/family if they were looking for an endocrinologist in this area.

Not only does Dr. Shell make recommendations, she also tells you why. I have also learned from her how my body works in relation to diabetes. For example, she explained why drinking adequate water was so important to my body.

Dr Shell shows care and concerns with me. When in the room with me she is forced directly on me and my care. Involves me with decisions of care. Excellent Dr.

I got a new primary physician and they tried to talk me out of seeing my endocrinologist because the primary is closer for me. My endocrinologist is very engaged with my health and I would not change.
