UofU Patient May 07, 2013
Dr. Shelton was very pleasant
UofU Patient April 29, 2013He waited, although the MRI made me late. Impressive!
UofU Patient April 24, 2013I 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.
UofU Patient April 22, 2013You should have a rating marked "Excellent"! That's the care I received from everyone.
UofU Patient April 09, 2013Dr. 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.
UofU Patient April 09, 2013Always a good experience with Dr. Shelton. Thanks.

UofU Patient November 21, 2012In 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.

UofU Patient November 07, 2012I 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.
UofU Patient October 17, 2012We 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.
UofU Patient October 15, 2012This visit felt a little rushed.
UofU Patient October 09, 2012Dr 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.
UofU Patient October 08, 2012Dr. 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.
UofU Patient October 02, 2012This appointment was by far the longest I have had since being a patient of Dr Shelton's.

UofU Patient September 24, 2012Dr Shelton and staff were very good
UofU Patient September 24, 2012Due 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!
UofU Patient September 07, 2012Everything was good. Dr. Shelton took as much time as needed to make sure that I had my questions answered and didn't seem rushed.
UofU Patient July 24, 2012Dr. 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
UofU Patient July 23, 2012It was a very pleasant experience.
UofU Patient June 20, 2012I would & will recommend Dr. Shelton, Dr. Macdonald & their teams to everyone. They are so nice, knowledgable, & work together so cohesively. I was impressed.

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.
