...more than satisfied. I have had 3 rotator cuff surgeries by dr. Shepard. all my fault. Both he and his staff should be recognized for their positive, kind, and professional attitudes. He is very talented and put me back together where I was able to continue doing what I love most.

I have been going to him for over 15 years. One thing I love is if you have an appointment with him-I have never ever had to wait as he is always on time where some of the other doctors I go to I have had to wait for over an hour. I have bone on bone on my left leg and he has been putting a gel into the middle of my knee and it has always worked for me. I love his honesty and how he explains everything he does on my knee.

I has been several years post surgery and I have full range of motion and no pain. I really liked the entire and timely process of working with Dr. Sheppard. He came highly recommended by a radiologist friend and I am glad I chose him for my surgery!

He has done two surgeries on my shoulder. I could not be with a more kind and caring physician. He is always upfront with his diagnosis and treatment plan. He has a very pleasant demeanor. His surgical skills were praised by the hospital staff. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Shepard to anyone.

He did my shoulder surgery and he is the best. My shoulder is perfect. but problem is now i got problems with my left. Even though i live in MI now but i think i will go back to him for surgery if it requires one.
