Testimonials from patients of Dr. Sheff
Dr. Sheff had been monitoring a heart murmur for a few years, and sent me for special follow up. Thinking that it would be a number of years yet before any intervention was needed, I was surprised at how fast the need for a aortic heart valve replacement came up. Had he not checked it, I would not have recognized how serious it was. Thanks to his attention and intervention I had my surgery and… See more

I an so glad my husband, Scott, and I chose to follow Dr. Alan Sheff to MDVIP.
We knew, way back then, he was “ The Best Doctor” in the area. He guided us through several very serious health issues over the years. His knowledge connected us with other “Best Doctors”.
He has been very supportive as I navigated life after my husband passed away in 2016.

When vaccines first became available during the pandemic, I was able to get the first Moderna shot at the end of January. Five days after I received it, my lips swelled and I called Dr. Sheff and he asked me to send a photo. By the next day, it was worse, sent another photo and he prescribed medication.
He told me not to take the second shot. My lips were back to normal in a week but… See more
I've been having some BP issues lately and have called the office numerous times and asked for Dr. Sheff to please call. I have made this request many times over the years since Dr. Sheff first made MDVIP available. He always responds within a reasonable time either to assure me or to make a suggestion. That kind of attention to my medical needs is exemplary and worthy of note to anyone… See more
Dr Sheff is ALWAYS there when we need him. He listens to our needs.
He is great. I live two hours away now and still make arrangements to come see him.
Dr. Sheff has always been responsive and quick. When I broke my 9th rib by accident, he got me an MRI within 90 minutes, identifying the issue.
There have been numerous times over the last 15 years that Dr Sheff has given me life saving suggestions that have prolonged my life & allied me to be more productive & active during my retirement years.
