Everyone in your office is so cheerful and helpful. UTI issues were addressed and future surgery was scheduled. Office environment is so comfortable. Staff are so responsive. Grateful. Just so professional in a very kind way. Just amazed at how everyone came together to address my needs.
Everyone was so kind and attentive. I felt heard.
Everyone at the office was very friendly, professional, but yet very down to Earth. The exam room had such a great feng shui that I was able to relax despite being nervous. Mrs. Shackelford and the whole staff made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I normally am not excited about annual exams, but this one was seamless and a breeze. I was made to feel understood when discussing personal health concerns, and I'm no longer apprehensive about having my annual exams.
Ms. Shackelford was really nice and friendly. I appreciate all of the staff at Elite. Thank you all!

Introduced herself. I didn't feel rushed. She asked a lot of questions and she thoughtfully answered mine. Sent a referral for me to a therapist, which I really needed. Throughout the exam, she told me exactly what she was about to do. All in all, super nice, respectful and personable.
The wait time was short. Christy was so patient and kind. She listened to my issues and answered all questions and took her time with me and explained everything and set up a course of treatment and set up a biopsy. She is very reassuring. The office personnel were great and friendly.

Christy was extremely professional and made me feel very comfortable and listened to all my concerns
Hi, I’m Christy Shackelford, a physician assistant with a passion for connecting with patients and helping them feel seen and supported. I started my healthcare journey in nuclear imaging, but I always envisioned something more for myself in medicine—so I followed that passion and went back to school at Florida State University to become a PA.
I found myself drawn to women’s health for a couple of reasons. One was my time in nuclear medicine, where I only had brief interactions with patients. I realized I was much more fulfilled by long-term care, building real connections and getting to know people’s stories. The other is my own experience as a patient—dealing with symptoms that didn’t show up clearly on paper and feeling dismissed. When I was a student in this practice, something clicked. I saw myself in so many of the patients walking through the door, just hoping someone would understand me and help. That connection is what drives me every day.
When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me out on a run to clear my head, curled up with a good book, or trying (emphasis on trying!) a new sewing project. My husband and I are proud FSU alumni and love cheering on the Seminoles at every chance we get.
