Patients also share

The opportunities for improvement noted in the reviews are minimal. One reviewer felt that Dr. Shepherd's responses to their emotional concerns came across as slightly dismissive during a particularly difficult time, though they acknowledged this may have been influenced by their own emotional state. One other reviewer noted that he appeared to be in a hurry during a procedure and did not provide post-operative instructions afterward.
