Annual Exam

I just felt so extremely rushed. I think the entire appt lasted 4 minutes. I also got there 15 minutes early and still waited over 30 until my appt. I understand it was probably a busy day but just sharing what it was like for me personally.

Post-Partum Appointment

I always feel heard by Dr. Shepherd with every appointment I have. She never rushes any appointment, takes her time answering my questions, and genuinely cares about her patients. I've been seeing Dr. Shepherd for a few years now. She helped me when I originally came in with issues concerning birth control up until I had my first baby. She always makes me feel comfortable during every appointment, answers all of my questions, and has never made me feel rushed. During my first delivery, she kept me informed on everything and helped me understand any complications that I was having. She was able to keep me calm during the whole 28 hours of laboring that ended up in a c-section. I recommend her to anyone who's looking for a new OBGYN. She is the best provider I have ever had.

Lab Work

Dr Shepherd is always caring, informative, and explains things in a way I can understand so I can make decisions right for me. Also bloodwork at the recent appt with Cathy/Kathy was really well done. I have had some not so great draws before. Dr Rachel Shepherd is a gem. I worked with her my first child and even though she was out of insurance for my second, I still kept her and paid out of pocket. She is caring, informative and listens. She also explains things in a way I understand. Also in labor, her energy and guidance was amazing. She and the team made it a beautiful memory of which I am grateful <3
