Dr. Shirley is the greatest Doctor I have ever had! He is compassionate, understanding and he really listens to his patients. He also explains medical issues so his patients understand what they mean to us. Recently I had a lab report that my PCP had ordered and they came back really bad. Dr. Shirley received a copy of my labs and he called me personally to make sure that my medical issues were being taken care of. I can’t tell you how much it meant to me that he took the time and had true concern about my health. He is an outstanding Doctor and deserves to be recognized for the incredible care he gives his patients.

Oct-2020
I have never really had any complaints about Dr Shirley or his care...the one issue I have always had was the length of time waiting past appointment time to see him. It was more prevalent an issue when I was working. No doubt the reason he gets "behind" is the attention and time he gives to each of his patients which pulls him in to the more positive end of the scale!

Dr. Shirley is very experienced and highly knowledgable and skilled physician/Rheumatologist that has built a trusted doctor/patient relationship over the course of several years. His level of genuine care for his patients is excellent. He knows me, knows whats going on with my condition, follows up conscientiously, and has guided me quite successfully through some very difficult periods in my disease. He is top notch.
