Patient Comments (655)

Overview of patient comments

Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Dr. Christopher Shelton receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, many of whom have been under his care for 10, 20, even 30 or more years. The most frequently praised qualities are his exceptional listening skills and the unhurried, attentive nature of his visits—patients repeatedly note that he never makes them feel rushed and takes time to thoroughly answer questions. He is consistently described as caring, compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional, with a warm bedside manner that makes patients feel like they are talking to a trusted friend or family member rather than just a doctor. Many reviewers highlight his thoroughness in explaining diagnoses, treatment options, and lab results in clear, understandable terms, and several mention that his diagnostic skills and referrals have led to significant health outcomes, including early cancer detection and life-saving specialist referrals. His long-term relationships with patients and families, including treating multiple generations, are frequently cited as evidence of the trust he has built.

Patients also share

The most common concern raised by patients is difficulty getting appointments, particularly on short notice or when needing to reschedule, with a few reviewers noting his practice is very busy and that he can seem overbooked. Several patients also mentioned slow response times to messages or the patient portal, though most noted that when he did respond, his answers were thorough and helpful. A small number of reviews described appointments as feeling slightly rushed at times, which contrasts with the majority sentiment but was mentioned by a few patients. Isolated comments included dissatisfaction with a new office location, wait times during visits, and one newer patient who felt more visits were needed to fully assess the relationship.

Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
