Get to know Shellie Josephs, MD
I am committed to providing the highest quality of care to my patients, whether that be in the interpretation of their medical imaging or while providing procedural care. As a parent, I am empathetic to the fact that interactions within a health care organization can be confusing and scary, especially when a child is involved. My goal is to make the patient and their family feel at ease with their care decisions and understand the imaging or the procedure they are undergoing, as well as what are the next steps. I believe that active listening and engagement are key elements in helping to achieve the correct diagnosis and help patients reach their health goals.
