Dr. Shelley began her career as a hospitalist after completing her residency at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. While the hospital environment strengthened her skills in managing acute and complex medical issues, she ultimately felt called to primary care, where she could form long-term relationships and focus on prevention as well as treatment.

She earned her medical degree from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, a master’s degree in aging studies from the University of South Florida, and a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from the University of Florida.

Dr. Shelley believes great care comes from a true partnership between doctor and patient. She approaches each visit with curiosity, empathy, and a commitment to listening first. Her philosophy centers on the understanding that patients are experts in their own lives, and that her role is to guide, educate, and support them as they navigate their health.

Her whole-person approach considers lifestyle, nutrition, environment, emotional well-being, and long-term goals. She strives to make patients feel known, comfortable, and confident sharing what matters most to them.

She enjoys helping patients understand how their daily habits, movement, nutrition, rest, and routines shape their overall health.

She is also passionate about supporting patients through aging and life transitions, with a focus on maintaining vitality and quality of life at every stage.

Outside of work, Dr. Shelley loves spending time with her husband, Dr. Mike, and their children. She enjoys hiking, reading, and baking, and appreciates the quiet moments that bring balance to everyday life.
