Dr. Stephen Sheldon is a Florida based physician recruiter. He has more than fifteen years of practice management and development experience. A graduate of the University of Florida, he is the President of National Resources of Avon, Inc. and makes his home part-time in Miami, FL and part-time in Vail, Colorado.

“I believe my experience in both practicing and administrating provide me with a unique perspective in this business” said Dr. Sheldon, “I’ve spent most of my career on both sides of the desk so to speak”.  His understanding of what a good practice environment is and what a fair contract looks like can help you find the best possible opportunity.  In addition, our extensive database with statistics and information about practice dynamics and regional medical marketplaces can assist you in making a right decision.  Almost all of the physicians he has placed are still in the practices he assisted them in finding.  On a personal note, Dr. S lives part-time in Miami, Florida and part-time in Vail, Colorado.  He and his wife have 3 young children and more pets than they like to count.  They all like to ski, snowboard, mountain bike, hike, camp and enjoy all the beauty Colorado has to offer.  And, of course, Dr. S. considers the neighborhood golf course his personal therapist!

Please feel free to call us anytime; we love what we do and look forward to helping you.
