Patient Reviews

5

She is always kind and caring. Great office! The nursing staff, medical assistants, and front office are great!

June 21, 2026

5

My appointment was scheduled for 1:30. It was 2:00 before I was called back but was very happy with the staff once I was finally called back.

June 19, 2026

5

Keep up the good work

June 17, 2026

5

The nurse practitioner was very knowledgeable, and concerned about my health. She offered me things that know other person had done before. She made me feel safe like I was going to be alright. The assistant/tech was very good also she was very concerned about me, was so patient with me. She was able to get my blood drawn with no problem, and I'm a hard person to get blood from. Most places have to use a MRI machine to get my bloodwork.

June 13, 2026

5

The provider was extremely thorough and asked if I had any questions and she answered all my questions and concerns. She explained my problem and the solution and my care with great clarity. I was blessed to get an appointment with her.

June 11, 2026

5

The nurse that was tasked with taking the 9 vials of blood was excellent. I didn't feel the needle going in nor did I feel the vials filling up. Best at inserting the needle and not bruising my arm after.

June 11, 2026

5

Everyone that I came in contact with on staff was super friendly, super professional. They all made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. It made a scary experience, not so scary. I was able to, like, focus on the issue without the anxiety because of everyone's disposition. I mean, everybody from the person who checked me in, to the nurse who took my vitals, to the nurse practitioner that actually saw me, to the person who took my blood samples, like everybody was personable and professional, and I really appreciated that.

June 6, 2026

5

I usually see Dr. Shepard, but whenever he's unavailable, I always feel comfortable seeing Dr. Nakia. It's refreshing to have a doctor who not only looks like me but also connects with me in a way that feels genuine. She's incredibly knowledgeable and often brings up things that others haven't mentioned. What I appreciate most is that she takes the time to ask EVERY question and looks at the bigger picture. Even when a concern falls outside her specialty, she's willing to share helpful insight. I always leave feeling heard and informed. I actually cried after my last visit but dont tell her, haha.

My appointment was rescheduled at the office's request and so I was charged twice. Please refund me.

Dr. Shepard, his nurse practitioner, Nikia, and all of the staff were absolutely fantastic. They helped with our level of stress. They explained things. They spent time with us. They were phenomenal. Cannot say enough good things. We have left a fabulous review online as well.

Both Nakia my NP and Brandi my RN were great. They offered me water and snacks to help calm my nerves, I was provided very clear details on what was going on as well as the next steps and the reason for them. Highly recommend them and their office.

I felt heard. I felt like the doctor was interested in helping me and also interested in learning and educating herself about things specific to my disease ...if necessary

Ms. Murphy is phenomenal. Because of her expertise, knowledge, recommendations, and expedited medical plan, my labs are within normal limits and I am feeling like myself again. I can't thank her enough. It's like she saved my life. I am forever grateful that she came into my life.

I completely trust and love my doctors. They listen to everything I have to say. They never rush me. The receptionist and nursing staff is also amazing. I have the best care in Atlanta. I thank God every night for them.

I usually see Dr. Shepard, but whenever he's unavailable, I always feel comfortable seeing Dr. Nakia. It's refreshing to have a doctor who not only looks like me but also connects with me in a way that feels genuine. She's incredibly knowledgeable and often brings up things that others haven't mentioned. What I appreciate most is that she takes the time to ask EVERY question and looks at the bigger picture. Even when a concern falls outside her specialty, she's willing to share helpful insight. I always leave feeling heard and informed. I actually cried after my last visit but dont tell her, haha.

Everyone that I came in contact with on staff was super friendly, super professional. They all made me feel very welcomed and comfortable. It made a scary experience, not so scary. I was able to, like, focus on the issue without the anxiety because of everyone's disposition. I mean, everybody from the person who checked me in, to the nurse who took my vitals, to the nurse practitioner that actually saw me, to the person who took my blood samples, like everybody was personable and professional, and I really appreciated that.

The provider was extremely thorough and asked if I had any questions and she answered all my questions and concerns. She explained my problem and the solution and my care with great clarity. I was blessed to get an appointment with her.

The nurse that was tasked with taking the 9 vials of blood was excellent. I didn't feel the needle going in nor did I feel the vials filling up. Best at inserting the needle and not bruising my arm after.

The nurse practitioner was very knowledgeable, and concerned about my health. She offered me things that know other person had done before. She made me feel safe like I was going to be alright. The assistant/tech was very good also she was very concerned about me, was so patient with me. She was able to get my blood drawn with no problem, and I'm a hard person to get blood from. Most places have to use a MRI machine to get my bloodwork.
