Dr. Shiels is an outstanding doctor!! He has provided my husband with excellent care for many years. Over the years, he has gone above and beyond caring for my husband and his needs, even making himself available for consultations after hours, when my husband suffered two massive strokes. Just recently, my husband received a liver transplant because Dr. Shiels reached out to UIC on our behalf. We are so grateful for Dr. Shiels, Cheryl and the staff RGA! FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS, WE WANT TO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
