My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

I am passionate about helping my patients improve the quality of their lives by providing the preventive healthcare. In my MDVIP-affiliated family medicine practice, you will receive personalized care, including a comprehensive wellness program and action plan, as well as access to online tools and resources on your personal health website. I will be your coach and partner, as well as your primary care physician, as you navigate your course to achieving a healthier, happier life. 

I am one of the few female physicians practicing in this style of practice in Charlotte County, Florida and proud to be board certified by the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians. As a private doctor, I care for a limited number of patients – just a few hundred instead of the thousands that are typically a part of most primary care practices today. My smaller practice gives me extra time to work very closely with my patients to help them achieve better health. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I also offer same- or next-day appointments that start on time. 

I am an attending physician at Fawcett Memorial Hospital and Bayfront Medical Center. This means that when you are hospitalized, I will follow you throughout your stay, as I believe you should be cared for by the physician who knows you best – me. 

My practice serves all of Charlotte County, including Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Arcadia, Boca Grande and Rotonda West.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Shell

from Mary in FL March 11, 2020 for Stephanie J. Shell, DO

As an RN with 45 years experience I have worked with many doctors Dr Stephanie is one of the best I know. She always makes time for me as a patient and because my family lives out of state she will see them if needed One time my daughter was here and she had forgotten her Rx Dr Stephanie saw her and gave her the Rx and talked to her for about a half hour.

from Nancy in FL March 10, 2020 for Stephanie J. Shell, DO

When I first met Dr. Shell I was frustrated with the run around I was getting for hip pain. She was able to cut through all the "Big Practice" procedures and get me the test I needed. She then reviewed the medical language with me, word by word. I felt so much better about making a surgical decision. The pre and post care was first rate!

from Darcy in FL March 10, 2020 for Stephanie J. Shell, DO

Compassion, consideration, affirmation and strong desire to be the very best doctor is what makes all the difference, I don't have a dramatic story, I just know Dr Shell is always a phone call or an email away from answering questions and Listening! Thank you!

Dr. Stephanie Shell is always there for my husband and myself. She treats our
aches and pains, helps keep us well, and refers us to great specialists. Dr. Shell
noticed when a doctor gave Jerry a prescription that would negatively affect his heart rate and blood pressure and solved the problem. Thank you Dr. Stephanie for all you do for the Massey family!!
