Reviews
Dr Shields was very thorough and professional. He explained everything clearly and showed genuine care and attention. We felt confident in his assessment and the guidance he provided.
Dr Shields was able to put me at ease during a very difficult time and was kind, practical, supportive and solution-focused. He gives his opinion but listens to your views and takes the time to listen and understand you in order to find the most effective way forward. Would highly recommend and grateful for all his assistance.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review.
I chose Dr Shields because he works as a psychiatrist in the field of cancer. I consulted him because my cancer treatment had helped make me very anxious and depressed. At the initial consultation Dr Shields was warm, attentive and reassuringly knowledgeable about both my cancer treatment and what could be done to alleviate my psychological symptoms. His treatment worked magnificently and the followup fine-tuned the treatment. It has been a great relief to have someone ‘on the team’ who sees me as a whole person and not just a body with cancer.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review and I'm so glad your experience has been so positive.
Thank you to the most incredible doctor. I don’t know how to express what a calm, patient and kind doctor Dr Greg is. He gives his patients so much hope in themselves and treats us all like humans with dignity and respect no matter what we are going through. I will forever be grateful for being guided to this wonderful man.

Thank you for taking the time to review me.
Dr Shields is a patient and sensitive proffesional who listens very carefully. His manner is light yet his attention to detail is deeply attentive. He is available and present as a caring doctor and has helped practically creating short term and long term plans to help me medically. He is able to make nuanced decisions in a non judgmental atmosphere that overall instills confidence and independence. I cannot thank him enough...
