Review for Rachel Shepherd, MD

Routine Pregnancy / Prenatal Appointment

Dr. Shepherd is the best OB/GYN I have ever had. This was my first ever prenatal appointment. It was a bit scary because when Dr. Shepherd did the ultrasound, she could not find the baby. She explained that it was most likely just too early to see anything but did explain additional possibilities like miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy. However, she made sure to emphasize that it was probably just too early and ordered two rounds of labs to make sure the baby was growing normally. What I appreciate about Dr. Shepherd is that she will be upfront with you without being cold. I can trust her to tell me the truth but also to be empathetic and compassionate. She cares about how you are feeling during the appointment and makes sure you are comfortable. She is the only OB/GYN I have ever trusted and the only OB/GYN I would trust to take care of myself and my baby. Dr. Shepherd has the perfect mix of smarts and heart.
