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.

Great Service!
Dr Shepherd took the time to thoroughly explain the issues as well as the treatment options.

Very considerate of comfort!
I’ve had 3 procedures with Dr Shepherd recently. I found him friendly, informative during procedure, and very competent at keeping discomfort at a minimum. I would definitely recommend to others.

Extremely upset with my interactions with Dr. Shepherd. He was rude, unsympathetic and has horrendous bedside manner. I don’t care how long he’s been practicing, he doesn’t deserve my business along with anyone else’s.

I went to him hoping I could get some help with nerve pain I am having with herniated discs. My herniations are mild, and I felt like because I didn’t have anything major wrong he discounted the pain I was experiencing. The nerve pain I have is debilitating. He barely made eye contact with me, and I waited an hour in the waiting room, and then another 30 min in the room. He left me with the impression that he didn’t believe that I was in pain, and that I was wasting my time.

After being in pain with a neck injury for 4years Dr. Shepherd fixed the problem. He gave me a trigger point injunction. He also showed me how to move to not aggravate the problem. This reduced the pain levels so that I was able to begin an exercise program that strengthened my muscles to support the spine. That in turn, cleared up my neck, back problems completely.
