First and the foremost, one can tell from the onset that Dr. Shields is a medical professional first, not a gain seeking businessman. Rest assured that your oral health comes first, not money!!!
I realized this better when I had a periodontal infection. My previous dentist, Dr. Paik of Apple Dental in Henderson, suggested to replace a six-unit bridge immediately. When I asked him about my gums and the infection I had, his response was "everybody ages and there is nothing one can do about it." And he declined when I requested a referral for a periodontal specialist visit. I knew that a second opinion was imperative.
I then visited Dr. Shields' office in Henderson as per a referral of a close friend. Dr. Shields' professionalism showed immediately and he told me that he would have to refer me to a periodontist immediately and would not do anything until after my gums have been treated! BINGO!!! I walked out of Dr. Shields' office, headed to Apple Dental, and ordered my records to be transferred to Shields Family Dentistry. Dr. Shields referred me to another terrific dentist, Dr. Arpin, who treated my infection and performed a crown lengthening to clean and cure the long-time infection and inflammation for good! Dr. Shields and his professional and courteous medical and office staff both in Henderson and Summerlin locations stayed in touch with me and made sure that I was ready for the next step. I had my bridge removed yesterday--painless--and am ready for the replacement in two weeks.
I must also add that Lisa and other staff members will make sure to help you with a painless payment plan. Shields Family Dentistry will take care of you and I highly recommend Dr. Shields without hesitation.
