Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Patients appreciate
Dr. Shepherd receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients who consistently praise his excellent communication skills and bedside manner. Patients repeatedly mention that he takes time to thoroughly explain diagnoses, treatment plans, and procedures in ways they can understand, often using visual aids like models. He is described as personable, caring, professional, and genuinely concerned about his patients' wellbeing. Many reviewers emphasize that they never feel rushed during appointments and appreciate his patience in answering all their questions. His surgical expertise is highly regarded, with multiple patients noting his skill with robotically assisted procedures and expressing complete confidence in his abilities. Long-term patients, some seeing him for over a decade, consistently report excellent care and outcomes. His office staff and team also receive praise for their professionalism and responsiveness.
Patients also share
The primary area for improvement identified in the reviews relates to one patient's experience where Dr. Shepherd appeared rushed during a procedure and failed to provide post-operative instructions afterward. This 2.1-star review stands in stark contrast to the otherwise uniformly positive feedback. A few other reviews, while still positive overall, gave slightly lower ratings without providing specific criticism, suggesting minor areas where expectations may not have been fully met. The lack of detailed negative feedback in most reviews makes it difficult to identify consistent patterns of concern beyond the single incident regarding rushed care and missing post-op instructions.
