Dr. Shepherd was extremely, courteous and listened with patience and responded all the questions. I was irritated that morning but felt very satisfied when leaving his office.

My last visit with the doctor made me feel hopeless. He all but stated he did not know what to do for me.I was so weak when I went in that day that I could not walk alone. I was given no help except a test that was set up the next week for 2 weeks later. I only hope I don't die before then. I have been in bed for weeks now and can't get any energy to do anything.I told him that day,which was 2 weeks ago that I could not take a shower,with a shower chair without giving out of breath.It just doesn't seem to matter to him and I had to have my spouce call to find out when the text was going to be set up. No call back from his office to check up on how I was doing or plans for anyother help.by the way the test he wanted to do was for the heart.One would think if he thought there was something wrong with my heart it would not take us having to call back to the office to see if it had been set up after at least 5 days from visit. I just dont know if I trust these "doctor & staff " anymore.He… acted and even stated that I might want to get a second opion when I asked what we could do to get me back on my feet.
