I had excellent service, excellent care, and I rate them a 10 because of their knowledge and know-how.

I have seen Dr Shephard for about three or four years. He is a caring and compassionate doctor. He comes in and asks about our travels and upcoming cruises. He seems interested in our lives and us as people. He is a wonderful doctor and a joy to talk to when we visit him. His nurse was very personable and we enjoyed talking to her as well. It is a wonderful practice and everyone from the lady at the front desk to check me in to the doctor is a joy,

As a new patient, I was pleased with the care that I received from Dr. Shephard. Dr. Shephard was very knowledgeable about my health history and attentive to my concerns. He answered all my questions and gave me suggestions on how best to address my issues. Overall, I had a good experience with the staff at Wellstar.

The nurse assistant was very concern with my care and saw that I was very upset as to my health and care that she took it to the next step and asked me did I want to speak to someone about what and how I was feeling. She show me compassion and understanding as to what was different from when I came in about a month ago.

From reception desk to meeting the doctor. Everyone was very kind and professional. I love meeting Dr Shepard. He took time with me and explained everything. I have to get blood drawn which is an event in itself. It took three sticks, but they were very apologetic , but I warned them.. and we laughed. It was a very pleasant experience. Ten stars

Dr. Shepard and his staff are phenomenal. Each time this visit comes into my rotation of follow up visits, I cringe . It's not fear as much as the reality that there is a need to stay on top of my remission. Dr. Shepard and his staff are very comforting to the process . Each person compliments and feeds the positive spirit of the other . As a patient I feel taken care of with sincerity by each person that's a part of my care in his practice.

I was very impressed with the service that I got from the beginning at the help desk and then at the end after talking with the doctor about my treatment and possible options. I thought that they were very professional. They were very knowledgeable and they offered a number of suggestions on what I could do at home. And so for that, I would give them definitely a very high mark for that.

I was very pleased with my experience. Dr. Shepard is very friendly and personable. His nurse, Liliana, and his Medical Assistant, Brandy (I hope I'm remembering her name correctly.), were kind and pleasant. If, unfortunately, you need to be treated by a hematologist/oncologist, you won't regret having Dr. Shepard and his staff as your care providers.

I like this doctor because he's an African-American doctor. He's not an African American male. He understood the language of what I was speaking. I understand the language of what he was trying to tell me in layman's terms. He really was able to get his point across. He was very thorough and knowledgeable in telling me about what was going on with my health. I really enjoy being able to relate to a doctor that's after my own kind. That's just the truth.

As a new patient, I was pleased with the care that I received from Dr. Shephard. Dr. Shephard was very knowledgeable about my health history and attentive to my concerns. He answered all my questions and gave me suggestions on how best to address my issues. Overall, I had a good experience with the staff at Wellstar.
