I had went with a patient to the doctor and he was amazing the patient had highlighted that he felt that the Docter is asking genuine questions and not only because he's curious but because he wants to help him he gave us his time and really showed interest and helping him and guided us on the right direction. Patient had said also that he didn't feel in a long time somebody that understood him as good as the doctor. I would had suggested for anybody that is looking for a psychiatric assessment he should use Dr Greg Shields as I believe that the patient will get the proper help need it

So kind of you to take the time to send this. Thank you
Empathetic, understood my requirements (for work as well as purely medical), and worked hard behind the scenes for me.

Really grateful for your review, thank you.
I visited Dr Shields due to the extreme anxiety I experienced following a medical diagnosis last year. He was incredibly professional, caring and empathetic. He made the appointment feel relaxed rather than overly clinical and immediately put me at ease. I was initially apprehensive about seeing a psychiatrist because of the stigma sometimes associated with it, but Dr Shields made me feel completely comfortable. I felt able to speak openly about how I was feeling without fear of being judged. I would highly recommend Dr Shields. I would also like to give a special mention to his assistant, Jade, who is always prompt and helpful with her replies and even managed to find me an earlier appointment.

That's really kind, thank you. And will pass the message to Jade. I'm so glad you felt comfortable and cared for.
Dr Shield was very sympathetic and professional.

Thank you for the review. I'm glad you found the appointment helpful

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.
