Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Takes time to talk, answer patients questions. He is very easy to talk to.

Horrifying. We left the practice after many years because of an out-of-control doctor.

I HAD been a patient of Dr. Shepherd's for over six years. Over the last 18 months, his behavior towards me as a patient became worse, and his misdiagnosis of my pneumonia as a cold almost left me hospitalized. Sadly, he has become cold, unfeeling and treats my wife and me as if we have no right to expect decent care. As a result, I have chosen to leave his care. I would advise caution when considering him as your physician.

Dr Shepherd is unknowledgable, noncommunicative doctor. It’s extremely disheartening to get little answers from a doctor. He is not update to date with facts. He also does not advocate for the patient.
