“A Great Experience - New York, NY”

"Dr. Shelton is an amazing surgeon. His office has great karma and his staff are smart, kind, caring people. Dr. Shelton was recommended to me because I have a tendency scar. He spent the time to talk me through the procedure and explain my options. He was wonderful. His calm manner, his excellent staff all helped me get through this very personal and stressful experience. It is 5 weeks later and you can barely see anything!! Dr. Shelton's expertise and skill level are exceptional. Compared to other surgeons I have been to for similar procedures - there is no comparison. I will never let anyone else perform this procedure on me again. I can't recommned Dr. Shelton strongly enough."
