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 professionalism, medical expertise, and communication skills. Patients frequently highlight that he takes time to thoroughly explain diagnoses, procedures, risks, and treatment plans in ways they can understand, often using models and detailed explanations. Many reviewers emphasize that he never makes them feel rushed during appointments and patiently answers all questions. His caring and compassionate bedside manner is repeatedly mentioned, with patients describing him as genuinely concerned about their well-being and attentive to their needs. Several long-term patients express complete confidence in his care, with some noting his expertise in robotic surgery and successful treatment of conditions like bladder cancer and kidney issues. His office staff and nursing team also receive praise for their professionalism and support.
Patients also share
While the vast majority of reviews are highly positive, a few patients identified areas for improvement. One patient gave a low rating citing that Dr. Shepherd seemed rushed during a procedure and failed to provide post-operative instructions, which represents a significant gap in care. Another patient, while acknowledging Dr. Shepherd's knowledge and explanation skills, felt that his reassuring responses came across as somewhat dismissive during an emotionally difficult time, though this reviewer acknowledged their own emotional state may have influenced their perception. These concerns about feeling rushed or not fully heard stand in contrast to the many reviews praising his unhurried approach, suggesting inconsistency in patient experience on occasion.
