I've been a patient of Dr. Shepard's for about 30 years. There aren't many around like him. He has always taken the time to explain tests results to me and many times followed up with a phone call to my home to make sure I understood.When my mother was ill with cancer he was a very sympathetic and calming factor in my life. He treats my husband as well. And when he doesn't have the answers, he gives us referrals for Doctors almost as wonderful as he.He truly is a family doctor who cares!

Overall, my experience with Dr. Shepard has been above average. I have gone to him several times for heel pain, physical exams and winter flus. He has always been thorough and attentive. Dr. Shepard has referred me to some excellent specialists as well. His staff is courteous, professional and well-organized.

Dr Shepard has been my son's pediatrician for 12 years and he has always made prompt diagnosis and great referrals when necessary - never gives unnecessary medications/antibiotics - respects the individual and listens to the patient - my son is a teenager now and feels very comfortable asking Dr Shepard any questions he may have about his body and health
