Philosophy
As a primary care physician, I work to build trusting, open relationships with my patients so we can partner together to formulate health plans that are evidence-based, person-centered, and realistic for each person. I recognize that cultural and social aspects can greatly influence a person’s health and seek to incorporate those factors into the care I provide. I enjoy taking care of individuals and families of all ages and backgrounds.

My special interests include women’s health, mental health, pediatrics, and community health.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring local parks and trails with my family. My hobbies

Ratings & Comments
At University of Rochester Medicine, we believe that patients should be empowered to make the right decisions regarding their personal healthcare. To do so, transparency is critical. URochester Medicine partners with Press Ganey, to survey our patients about all aspects of their care experience. We are now putting this pertinent information at your fingertips by displaying star ratings for our providers along with anonymous patient comments on our website. This will help you make better-informed choices about how and with whom you seek care. Click here to learn more about the surveys used to generate this vital information.

Patient Comments
Dr. Shellard was absolutely amazing. I was having a horrible day, and she went above and beyond to make sure I was okay. She recognized exactly what I needed, and took the time to take care of me. She let me vent and cry, and made me feel validated and heard. She didn't rush me or make me feel like a burden at all. She cares very much about her patients and it shows. I can't say enough good things.
