Ron Shelton, MD

I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Shelton. He performed Mohs surgery on my face 3 months ago. He was incredibly precise with his removal, and he stitched me up in a way that today nobody can even tell that anything was done. I was a nervous wreck when I learned that I had BCC and would need a surgery on my face! I’m in my early 40s and did not know many people my age who had this. I felt a sense of calm immediately upon meeting Dr. Shelton for my consult. He took a lot of time in our consult explaining to me what he would do during the procedure. The day of the procedure was nowhere near as scary as I had imagined, and Dr. Shelton’s calm demeanor made any sort of anti-anxiety medication unnecessary for me. The nurses and office staff were excellent. Dr. Shelton also successfully treated some redness on my scar with laser, and I like him so much that I plan to see him for cosmetic procedures unrelated to my scar in the future. I don’t normally post reviews or share this many details publicly, but if this review can help someone out there who is as scared of Mohs surgery as I was before I met Dr. Shelton, then it is worth it. He is excellent - a true professional, amazing professional and a kind person.

This spring I had a Sofwave treatment with Dr. Shelton. I noticed on all of my zoom meetings that my face was looking more like a melted candle than I would like. I'm turning 40 this year and have really started to see the effects of time despite constant sunscreen application and an aggressive retinol routine. I wanted to address my aging concerns in the least invasive way possible, and, to be honest, I was a little skeptical after the treatment. The procedure was relatively painless and left no redness or pain afterwards (basically there was no indication that anything had been done whatsoever.) After a few weeks though, I noticed an undeniable tightening of my cheeks and a fading of my nasolabial folds. The overall appearance of my skin has also improved and, frankly, I look amazing. Friends and family have been telling me that I look great and I've been telling each and every one of them that it's entirely due to Dr. Shelton and the Sofwave. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this procedure has made me look 5 years younger. I would recommend this procedure for anyone wanting to test the cosmetic dermatology waters who is not looking for drastic, facelift type results. The other wonderful thing is that the Sofwave is supposed to work continuously for many more months. I will absolutely come back for another maintenance treatment in a year.

I am so happy with the results of Ultherapy with Dr. Shelton. I am 67 and have been seeing him for a number of years for other treatments. I was always delighted with the results, but during the last months after spending so much time looking at myself on Zoom, I decided it was time to take the next step and try Ultherapy. I’m so glad I did. I wanted something that would help me address the effects of aging as naturally as possible. I’m currently just past the 6-month mark and I can clearly see the change in the tone and contours of my face. My skin has regained some of the resilience it once had, though since the effects are gradual, no one is aware I have done anything. That’s what is so great about this procedure. I am surprised the results continue to improve. It was the perfect procedure for me at this time.
I feel so fortunate to have Dr. Shelton as my doctor. He is expert, caring and honest. He studies your face carefully to determine what the best options are for you. He explains what to realistically expect and I never have to worry about being over-treated and ending up looking unnatural. Dr. Shelton is an exceptional doctor in his expertise, manner and aesthetic. I enthusiastically recommend Ultherapy, especially administered by an artist like Dr. Shelton!

I saw Dr. Shelton for RHA filler. He is such an amazing and knowledgeable doctor. He spent a lot of time with me asking me what I want and explaining to me ways to achieve that. He explained the procedure to me at length and gave me suggestions of what I should do and where I should have the fillers injected. He listen to me and understood that I wanted to look natural and not overfilled and he did not try to push any product on me.

I am very pleased with the outcome. I’ve tried out her derma fillers and this was virtually painless in comparison to the other fillers that I’ve received in the past. Dr. Shelton is very knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner! He also has extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and what makes a woman look natural and beautiful. He really has a gift for enhancing a woman’s natural beauty with a delicate touch. I really felt heard and understood and like we worked together to achieve the desired outcome. I would highly recommend Dr. Shelton to all my friends and family!

Pleased to share how happy I am with my results with Dr. Shelton. His expertise and level of professionalism far exceeded my expectations throughout the entire process. More than ten years ago a small bump began growing on the side of my nose. There was never any pain or discoloration but the asymmetry had always bothered me and seemed to have gotten worse over the years. I must have gone to dozens and dozens of dermatologists in the last decade and never received a proper diagnosis or plausible solution. Luckily I finally found Dr. Shelton. Immediately I knew I was in good hands; he knew exactly what we were looking at and possible options. 

Dr. Shelton is extremely thorough and he wanted to rule out Cancer so within the Laser and Skin Center they used a specialized non-invasive cellular imaging tool, Confocal Imaging, to get a clear idea of what was going on under the surface of the skin. I am very happy that he suggested this route, versus the usual Biopsy Excision option, as that would have left a scar on my nose. They're using top-notch cellular imaging systems and dermal lasers. 

What I had was Trichofolliculoma and he treated it with the appropriate laser. After years and years of unsuccessful doctor visits and time wasted, my nose is symmetrical again and finally I am no longer self-conscious about it anymore. I'm still amazed at my results, the precision and how perfect the contouring is - I just wish I knew about him sooner. I'd only trust Dr. Shelton with any future lasering, but hopefully I won't need any!! Couldn't be happier!!

I have a traumatic scar on my face, Dr. Shelton reviewed all of my options with me. The thing I appreciated most was his honesty and having him tell me that my specific scar, though it could be reduced would most likely never be fixed. He's very gentle, I forgot the name of the procedure but he is amazing and trustworthy

Even after only two weeks since the procedure, I'm seeing very impressive results. Dr. Shelton is a great specialist! He knows how to make you feel comfortable and does an amazing job. After experiencing his professionalism I already started another procedure with him and very confident, that the results will be exceeding satisfactory once again!

Dr. Shelton is a wonderful and caring dermatologist and dermatological surgeon. He is an artist with cosmetic procedures and makes you look like a better version of yourself, not artificial or like someone else. He takes cues from you and never tries to have you do anything more than what you want or need. He's a rare gem and I'm lucky to have been under his care for more than 10 years.

Thank you, Dr. Shelton. First of all, I want to say that he is really a professional, rigorous and responsible doctor.

I had a double eyelid surgery in 2016, but due to the poor effect, I did another repair operation in 2017. However, because the doctor was not good, there are obvious scars on my eyelids, people can see it when close my eyes. I have been very upset about this.

In August 2018, after I did research on RealSelf, I made an appointment with Dr. Shelton. After some discussion, because my eyelids have been operated twice, it is no longer suitable for surgical removal of scars. He chose the method of using laser treatment to improve scars for me.

I did the first laser treatment on 2018.8 and the second laser treatment on 2019.1.8. After two laser treatment, I can see that the scar has improved a lot! Dr. Shelton told me today, in the next few months, it will continue to improve! I will observe the progress of the scar in next a few months, and decide whether I need to do the third laser treatment!

I’m so happy about that! I know I will feel more confident in the future! Thank you, Dr. Shelton, he deserves the trust of every patient!

I had a Mohs surgery with Dr Shelton. I have no enough words to express how great and awesome he was from the beginning to the end. I’m extremely satisfied with his professionalism. Dr. Shelton is an outstanding Top Doctor and an extraordinary human being. I feel lucky about having my nose Mohs surgery with him. I strongly recommend him.
