My experience has afforded me the ability to accurately and effectively diagnose what’s not working in your body and the overall impact; addressing the origin and not the symptom. I can get your body back to operating at optimal efficiency, as well as help you take the steps necessary to prevent disease and ailments before they start.
As an experienced and trusted physician, I can accurately provide just the right amount of care, while not over or under-treating conditions. Too much, or too little, care can be detrimental to your health. My ultimate goal is to help you achieve optimal health so you can enjoy life to the fullest.
“I didn't have to wait to get in to see the Dr. Everyone was very nice and professional and seemed very competent. The Dr. was very attentive and friendly and listened carefully to the explanation of my symptoms. His post exam instructions were complete and thorough. I will gladly refer them in the future.”

“Started the weight loss plan with Dr. Shepherd last time that I went to see him. This time I waited 30 minutes, and met with a nurse practitioner student that was very helpful. Then, when the nurse practitioner came in she was very short with me and refused to prescribe me anything even though the weight loss plan called for it and I hadn’t met my goal. Very inconsistent and irritating. I feel like if I would have met with another provider the outcome may have been much different.”
