Dr. Shea provided an unrivaled level of care/compassion for our son. After a weekend trip to SMH's ER, and having to wait until first thing Monday to book an appointment - our nerves were well past the point of "shot". However, both he and his staff went above and beyond to help us and did not pass the slightest bit of judgement during an overly stressful family emergency.

My husband and I both saw Bernice, the PA for Dr. Shea. We’ve been dealing with ear issues for some time. We live in Longboat Key Marina on our boat 1/2 the year and Raleigh NC the other half. Of every Dr. or PA we have seen, Bernice was the very best. Kind, gentle and awesome is how I’d describe her. Not to mention, she definitely addressed both of our issues better than anyone else in years👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Thank you so much♥️ Highly recommended!

My newborn son had difficulty feeding during his first few weeks. We saw Dr. Shea for a tongue tie procedure and afterwards my son was immediately able to latch and feed. Thanks for taking care of my boy Dr. Shea!
