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.

We love Dr. Shepherd!
Dr. Shepherd is our pediatrician for our 2-year old. We met with three pediatricians before finally landing with him, and he is everything we wanted in a pediatrician. He's knowledgeable, but what stands out is how personable he is and how much he makes us feel cared about in each of our appointments. Our kiddo is slow to warm up, but is great with Dr. Shepherd, and we love how Dr. Shepherd incorporates his own personal experiences with his kids into our conversations as well. It gives us a sense of relief knowing he's gone through the same things we are going through as well.We couldn't be more appreciative of Dr. Shepherd!!

My experience went from excellent to sour. Pre-appointment was great- easy to get an appt and good communication. During the check-in process, the front desk asked me to electronically sign someone else's HIPPA paperwork. Yikes Dr. Sheperd was kind and you can tell he cares about his patients; however, he pushed back on two tests I requested during my physical yet tested me for homocysteine (not common), billed it with an investigative code, and now I'm fighting insurance with an $85 bill.

A new patient is not welcomed as you have to wait weeks before seeing you. According to the lady on the phone

My spouse and I recently were transferred from Houston to Denver and had to find a new PCP here. We both agree that the doctor was very personable and a great listener regarding our past and current medical conditions. He spent a great deal of time with both of us to gain a complete understanding of our histories and our expectations. He is definitely our new PCP. We would highly recommend the doctor to anyone who needs a PCP or wants to change PCP. It will be worth your while to change.

Very attentive and insightful. Takes time to get to know the patient and help the patient feel educated and involved in the decision-making.
