Danielle Shields Email & Phone Number

I come from a medical background with approximately 13 years of experience. I've worked in a variety of medical settings, including the emergency room of a hospital, behavioral health centers, intensive care units, and orthopedic units. I've also conducted one-on-one consultations with patients who were at risk of suicide or going through withdrawal from drugs or alcohol. In addition, I have experience in long-term elderly care, dementia, autism, and hospice care. I have experience working in internal medicine and cardiology offices more recently.
