Patient Reviews
Aug 23, 2024
I cannot say enough about Dr. Shepard he gave me back my life! The staff are professional and caring but it was Dr. Shepard going above and beyond and showing genuine concern and compassion that changed everything. When I saw Dr. Shepard in April of 2024 I had active C Difficile for over one year. It seems impossible that you can have C diff and not be hospitalized or dead after a year but somehow with three other Gastro's, an infectious disease specialist, two general practicioners, and a neurologist no one knew what to do with me. The best Gastro in St Pete I waited months to see asked my what I would like to do? Three rounds of vancomycin, rounds of steroids never knocked out the C Diff along with Lymphocytic Colitis caused by the C Diff infection. My C difficile was caused by antibiotics prescribed for an infection. over a year later I was giving up then Dr. Shepard did two FMT, it was so bad the first one knocked it down but the 2nd was the fix for the first time I was negative
