Dr Shamleffer is an absolute rockstar. I've only seen her twice and she is very knowledgeable. Explains things in simple ways for me to understand as well. Makes being a newly diagnosed type one diabetic feel way less overwhelming.

I absolutely adore Dr. Shamleffer and I told her so at this visit. I have learned so much from her and my situation is improving & I am grateful. I realize that time w/patients is much more limited than in the past; however, Dr. Shamleffer is so good at what she does I always leave feeling like it was a great visit. I hope she remans w/Cone Health a long time.

I had seen a previous physician in this practice who recently retired. I did not ever feel that he listened to my concerns or opinions and I was not allowed to change physicians in the group. Since the retirement, I am now seeing a new physician, Dr. Shamleffer, and she was wonderful. She listened to my concerns and I felt she allowed me to be a part of the decision making of my own care. She was very thorough in discussing all possible options for treatment and I felt we came to an agreed-upon plan of care. I truly felt "heard" for the first time here. I would highly recommend her.
February 06, 2025
I always look forward to going to my appts with Dr Shamleffer. She keeps me on my toes by holding me accountable for my results. If I do well she encourages me to keep up the good work and that I am doing well. If I fall short of expectations, she will challenge me and give me advice on what I can do better to get my score up. She also listens to my concerns and takes time to help me better.
