                  We have been seeing Dr Shepard for quite a few years now for my child's VSD. He makes the whole process so smooth and easy to understand for ALL....both as parents and for my son as the patient. Something that can be a complex issue/topic, he explains in a manner that leaves no confusion. Dr. Shepard is very personable, and great with my son. He takes the necessary time to hear all your questions and concerns so you walk away from your appointment with nothing unanswered and knowing the plan moving forward. Dr. Shepard is AMAZING!! We are always happy with him.

                  We were so excited to establish care with Dr. Shephard. He took care of our son many years ago in the ICU after his heart surgery, and when our original cardiologist retired, Dr. Shephard was the first person we thought of. At our visit, he took more time than he needed to, and was so helpful and patient with our son, who is not particularly excited to get an echo that day. Thank you for everything.
