Patient Reviews
Apr 19, 2023
An important question to ask about any surgeon is how many of these operations has he/she performed. Dr. Shepard has performed many of the Watchman procedures. These devices keep ischemic clots from escaping where most of them form. I’ll be eternally grateful to him for very successfully closing the left atrial appendage, thus giving me a greater chance of health.
