Dr. Shelton was very pleasant

April 29, 2013

He waited, although the MRI made me late. Impressive!

April 24, 2013

I am so very grateful to Dr. Shelton, he has given my son normal hearing in the ear he operated on and he did an absolutely amazing job.

April 22, 2013

You should have a rating marked "Excellent"! That's the care I received from everyone.

April 09, 2013

Dr. Shelton will always take time to answer questions we may have and has even given us more time than is probably scheduled. The last visit I felt a little discouraged because my hearing seemed to me to have dropped significantly because I was not understanding or detecting words or sounds. But Dr. Shelton explained what was happening and why I was feeling the difference in my hearing even though the testing only showed a slight change. We learned what to look for in the future and felt understood.

April 09, 2013

Always a good experience with Dr. Shelton. Thanks.

April 01, 2013

Dr Shelton is a wonderful doctor who listens, is honest, very knowledgable, and willing help with concerns. I rely on him and I am grateful he is my doctor.

I've felt very fortunate in having Dr. Shelton provide care for my hearing loss since he joined the staff at the U of U Med Center

March 04, 2013

Dr. Shelton is the best, makes me feel comfortable and thoroughly explains all procedures and greatest part, he cares about your well being.

Our experienceat the Medical Center has always been very good.

Dr. Shelton is so professional and thorough. I am thankful for all of his help.

February 04, 2013

I would highly recommend to others who had hearing problems to come and see Dr. Shelton and his team. Dr. Shelton knows how to help and make a profoundly hearing impaired person feel that his or hers needs are important to them.

January 21, 2013

Dr. Sheldon was very nice and very knowledgable about my sons tumor. I feel very confident in his ability to do what he says.

Dr. Shelton is not only a Professional Doctor but Very Friendly too (O)__(O)

I loved the efficiency of the visit. I hate wasting time, and none of the staff members wasted any time. It was a very good experience.

First class medical care.

December 04, 2012

Marvelous !!!!

November 26, 2012

Clough Shelton is a Star in the Galaxy. He is kind, polite, highly intelligent and qualified! I have never seen a better doctor! I have trusted him with my life twice and not been disappointed. He is just amazing!

November 21, 2012

In my opinion, you guys are off the chart on this page. If possible I would give a "10" for each of these questions. Everyone was patient, kind, and presented as truly caring. We left the facility feeling as tough we had a new group of friends.

November 12, 2012

I trust/appreciate my doctor for his expertise and care.

November 07, 2012

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Shelton. Any time someone mentions they may need an ENT specialist, I'm right there to recommend him. He never makes me feel rushed, always listens to my questions and concerns, and treats me just like a friend.

October 17, 2012

We met with Dr. Jacob and Dr. Shelton. Dr. Shelton was great. we were glad that in the end Dr. Shelton was providing most of our services.

October 15, 2012

This visit felt a little rushed.

October 09, 2012

Dr Shelton is awesome! He knows what he's doing. He talks to the person that has the issue, even if they are children, as well as addressing any parental concerns. He makes you feel comfortable. We were told he was the very best at what he does and we believe it. We've already told other people about him.

October 08, 2012

Dr. Shelton, as well as his staff, couldn't have been more thorough and explanatory with my care. Dr. Shelton was my last resort and came highly recommended within the medical community. I thank him for taking my case. He was efficient, knowledgable, kind and caring. I have recommended him as well as any physician in his practice to friends and family. Dr. Shelton and the University Medical Center rest equally with the others.

October 02, 2012

This appointment was by far the longest I have had since being a patient of Dr Shelton's. It was extremely informative and thorough, beginning with the audiologist and finishing up with the OR scheduling nurse. I have high regard for Dr Shelton and his expertise. His staff are amazing!

September 26, 2012

I have recommended Doctor Shelton to a couple of people all ready.

September 25, 2012

Thank you so much for the wonderful care that I received.

September 24, 2012

Dr Shelton and staff were very good

September 24, 2012

Due to a rare connective tissue disorder that has caused me to see many doctors, I rarely have confidence in anyone I see. Having said the aforementioned, it was obvious he knew what he was doing and he put me at ease. I would recommend him in a second!

September 07, 2012

Everything was good. Dr. Shelton took as much time as needed to make sure that I had my questions answered and didn't seem rushed.

July 24, 2012

Dr. Shelton didn't spend much time listening to me and I felt I was dismissed as he hurried to the next patient. I asked how my hearing was he said fine but the test showed mild hearing loss. He wasn't very friendly and spent maybe 5 minutes talking with

July 23, 2012

It was a very pleasant experience.

June 20, 2012

I would & will recommend Dr. Shelton, Dr. Macdonald & their teams to everyone. They are so nice, knowledgable, & work together so cohesively. I was impressed.

June 18, 2012

This man is the most professional doctor I have ever seen. Considering I am a medical interpreter and have sen my share of doctors I can say I am extremely pleased with the care he provided. He is very kind and understanding. He loves to teach and he took every opportunity that was presented to teach his residents and interns. I am very impressed and although he has a closed practice I have recommended him to 2 people. Thank you University Health Care for having such wonderful providers.

June 11, 2012

Very professional!

April 25, 2012

Dr. Shelton provided comprehensive information on the procedure and what to expect post-op.

April 25, 2012

This was the first time I've been in hospital since Oaknoll Naval Hospital in the early '60s. Yours is better; I didn't have to make-up my bed each morning. I appreciated that.

April 03, 2012

The doctor is wonderful.

March 16, 2012

thank you Dr. Shelton!

March 09, 2012

Dr. Shelton seemed like he was very confident in his diagnosis. he explained every thing so well to us. eventhough it was news that we didn't want to hear, we felt like it was the right thing and Dr. Shelton seems very reliable and actually took the time to hear Preston's entire history.

March 07, 2012

i will be seeking another opinion Dr. Shelton wasn't concerned about much of anything other then seeing his next patient

January 11, 2012

I felt everyone's care for me as an individual, which surprised me in such a large facility. I look forward to the surgery to correct my hearing loss.
