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.

Dr. Sheppard and his staff are always very friendly and courteous. Dr. Sheppard has been taking care of my feet for almost 20 years. Dr. Sheppard takes care of my feet and I always leave there satisfied and my feet feel better too! If you need to see a podiatrist, I highly recommend that you make an appointment with Dr. Sheppard.
