      Dr. Shepherd and staff are extremely professional. My 2/12 visit was my final visit post surgery. Dr. Shepherd has changed my life after years of suffering with Achilles tendinitis. I tell everyone how amazing she is and she is the only reason that I finally went through with surgery that I've probably needed for all these years. When I look for a doctor, I want them to be great at their job and listen to my concerns. But Dr. Shepherd goes way beyond that by also being so easy to talk to and just being downright cool. I love that I found a doctor like that!
