Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

No Way I'd Recomment
Arrogant, dismissive and completely mis-diagnosed my case leading to unnecessary surgery and prolonged pain.

I have herniated discs in my L4 and L5 that Dr. Scheper treated with a shot in September 2019 and sent me down the road to a fantastic recovery. Then, I was an idiot and went sledding the last day in December and fractured my L3. Dr. Scheper gave me another shot between my L4 and L5 and treated me with humor and respect. This guy is AWESOME and so are ALL his staff. I HIGHLY recommend him not only for his medical talents, but for his ability to explain things in a way that a non-medical person can understand and his ability to calm the patient down. He's also really funny. I HIGHLY recommend him

WOW! What an amazing Doctor. He is easy to talk to, patient, and thorough in his findings for treatment. I've been having creepy crawling feelings in my legs for over 13 years now. I've complained to other Doctors, but nothing was ever done. After a bad fall 6 months ago from unsteadiness in my feet, I had an annual tear L4-L5 with LOTS of pain that affected my quality of life. Dr. Scheper has given me stellar treatment that is healing me. The staff is compassionate about my care, too. Thank you

I had my epidural Cortisone injections done in my back by Dr. Scheper on Tuesday, Sept. 13th. Dr. Scheper did a perfect job with the injections, and I felt much relief, probably 80-90%, the very next day. I couldn't feel more pleased with the results, and the professionalism of the nurses and staff at his office. I would recommend Dr. Scheper to anyone with lower back and leg pain issues, as he knows how to expertly place the injections to provide the most relief. Morris Miller

Doctor Schepper is fantastic! I can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and their comfort. He listens well, and explains everything in a manner anyone can understand. I see him for lumbar spine issues. I'd recommend him to anyone!
