Shelly brings a special combination of experience and kindness to our practice. Always interested in helping people, at the early age of 16, Shelly began work as a nursing assistant in the small community hospital of Dubuque, Iowa. As her interest in medicine grew, Shelly earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Clarke University, and Family Nurse Practitioner degree from Arizona State University. She has accumulated over 20 years of medical experience and she has worked in diverse fields, from internal medicine and family practice to radiology and oncology. After years in the medical field, Shelly saw the advances that vein care has made and sought out training in this field. She approached our office, and we were so impressed with her, that we quickly brought her on staff.
Here is why we felt Shelly was so unique. Although she is a seasoned provider with a wealth of knowledge and strong clinical skills, she is humble and dedicated to making sure her patients are well taken care of. She quickly became a favorite of our patients, with her warm personality, and pleasant bedside manner. When meeting Shelly, it is obvious that she has a strong desire to build a trusting relationship with her patients. We receive compliments regarding how thorough Shelly is, how comfortable her treatments are and how well informed patients feel after meeting with her. The truth is, it is Shelly's calling to help people. We feel fortunate that she has decided to pursue her passion, here in our office, to the benefit of our patients. She puts her patients first, and provides skillful treatment of varicose veins, deep and superficial thrombosis and lymphedema. A lifelong learner, Shelly regularly attends the American College of Phlebology meetings, and continues to expand her knowledge in ultrasound and modern hemorrhoid treatment.
Shelly lives in Mesa with her husband and 3 dogs, Coco, Flour, and Monkey. Her 2 daughters are graduates from ASU and work in the field of graphic design and analytics. She enjoy traveling and interior design. We are thrilled to have her on our medical team at Advanced Vein Center.
