Dr Fields has been so important and vital in the care of Robbie. He has been available to us whenever we have needs or questions. When we first started with him over 10 years ago in our move to KC. He solved a problem Robbie had been having in one visit. We so appreciate his knowledge and kindness!

Dr Fields had all information on the tests and other Drs I had seen. He was very thorough in the problems I have and was really easy to understand! We went thru the things I should do and see him again in 5 mos after the other Dr appts I have. I would give him a higher grade if I could.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/14/2024
I found Dr. Fields eased my fears by listening to me, explaining what could have caused my issue, treatment options and overall taking time with me to answer questions and make sure I was comfortable moving forward with treatment.

Dr. Fields is a wonderful doctor, caring and compassionate. I want things I cannot have, yet he will listen to me time and again. This time he was able to reduce one pill which I appreciate very much. He is everything I need in a doctor.
