My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

Achieving better health is my ultimate goal. 

As a board-certified physician in osteopathic family medicine, I view my role in your life as your healthcare advocate, coach and guide. I am able to help you navigate our complex healthcare system by using the latest medical information and tools made available through my affiliation with MDVIP. 

With skill, experience, knowledge, compassion and a focus on wellness and prevention, I'll work with you to help you achieve your healthcare goals. My personalized healthcare practice affords me extra time with patients to better understand what is happening in their lives that can affect their health. I see a limited number of patients in order to devote my full attention to their needs - inside and outside of the office. Similar to concierge medicine practices, I also offer conveniences like same- or next-day appointments that start on time. I firmly believe that if you are hospitalized, the physician who knows you best is the physician you want to see if you are in the hospital. I follow patients at Fawcett Memorial Hospital and Bayfront Medical Center and will be available for you and your family. 

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

Let's work together to take your personal healthcare to a new level.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Shell

from Bill in FL March 12, 2024 for Steven D. Shell, DO

When I moved to the area from Kentucky I was hesitant to employ a concierge Dr. but with having Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and a recent aortic heart valve replacement I thought it might be a good idea. Well it only took the initial meeting with Dr. Steven Shell for me to realize I was on the right track.

When I was diagnosed with Srogrens syndrome, my old doctor said well good luck. I’ll see you in a year. Then I found Dr Steven Shell and I saw him several times the first month after my diagnosis He was super supportive and informative and helped me map out a plan for moving forward.

from Cathy in FL March 9, 2024 for Steven D. Shell, DO

Dr Steven Shell is the kind of physician others only hope to be! He is kind, compassionate and thoroughly knowledgeable. We trust him completely as he’s never steered us wrong and actually saved my husband’s life twice by diagnosing serious issues early. I love our doctor and am so blessed we found him.
Thank you Dr Shell for everything you do for us!

from Owen in FL February 5, 2024 for Steven D. Shell, DO

I was out of town on a business trip that was expected to last four days; it ended up being two weeks! I hadn't brought enough medication for that long a time so I did something I had always been hesitant to do before, and that was calling Dr. Steven Shell's mobile phone. He immediately went to his office, sent in the prescription to a local pharmacy, and I was able to pick it up the… See more

One instance would be his help with my depression after Hurricane Ian tore my life up both home and at work but honestly what makes having Dr. Steve a game changer for me is his ability to listen and talk about life. He is a doctor in the old-fashioned sense when your doctor actually knew you and what your life was like!

We have been with Dr Shell for approximately seven years now and are very happy with the care that we get. We love the way he listens to and cares about his patients. He takes the time to diagnose our problems and then treats them very aggressively. My wife and I feel that we are getting the best care possible with DR. SHELL.👍👍👍

Dr. Shell is very helpful at finding the cause(s) of any ailments I may have and
decides the best remedies for me whether they be medications or changes in my life-style. He is considerate, understanding and a good listener which are the reasons I believe I am under the supervised care of a great physician!
