Patient Reviews

Aug 26, 2024

Post Scamdemic, I look at ALL Drs with a different eye, ALL Drs… I was resolved to look for the needle in a haystack. A Dr. that is results based, not Big Medicine or Big Pharma captured. It took me 4 years and convos with many friends of the same mindset. Dr. Sheperd was highly recommended by some neighbors who aren’t gullible or worship anyone with an MD credential. I was very pleased with my first meeting. Dr. Sheperd listened intently, looked me in the eyes, was willing to discuss my concerns, including sharing medical studies about meds, supplements, outcomes, etc. Health doesn’t come from a pill bottle. I appreciate a more holistic approach in partnership with my Dr.. This is what I searched for and this is what I believe I’ve found.
