Sheperd Integrative Dermatology

I have been to every dermatologist in the city. I finally found the perfect one. My skin has not looked better-​ever! Thanks Dr Shepard!

Relaxed and refreshed! I am so happy to have given a fabulous gift certificate from a good friend of mine! It was the best facial I’ve EVER had. My friend is a patient at Sheperd Integrative Dermatology clinic. The esthetician is Margaret Gierhart, LE. She is gentle and very knowledgeable about skin issues as well as products. Margaret took the time to let me know that since I still breastfeed that I needed to make sure certain chemicals aren’t in the skin products I use and that I would have to wait to address a few skin issues. She also explained the team environment at the clinic. I was so happy when I came home, my husband has already bought me a follow-​up certificate because he knows the challenges I’ve had in the past finding a good esthetician. I highly recommend Margaret.

On my first visit to Dr. Sheperd, she gave me one of the most thorough skin checks ever. She had a very pleasant demeanor, though a bit reserved. She was careful when removing a suspicious growth on my nose, leaving no scar. She provided out of the box solutions to a rosacea issue. I felt as if she is more focused on being a physician than a cosmetic provider even though she has an outstanding cosmetic department, with a great staff — love Zach. For many years, she was the «go to» doctor for dermatological pathology. Her office staff has been very pleasant and professional. So glad that she will be moving to her new building in late March!

Very thorough exams by Dr Shepherd but stopped going there after 5 – 6 years due to aloofness and lack of professionalism by office management. Numerous times tried to speak with management, but never any responses. Despite missing interaction with a very professional Doctor, can’t patronize a poorly run organization.

I saw Dr. Sheperd on 2÷3÷2016 for a strange reaction to a cortisone injection administered by another doctor in another state. She was recommended to me by a local pharmacist. I spent 2 hours and 15 minutes in her office during which she and an assistant worked diligently with me to resolve my problem. She thinks outside of the box and is addressing the problem from a variety of angles. Not only was she conscientious and even creative about treatment, she was also savvy about where to purchase the medications at the best price. I have worked with many doctors over the years because of a chronic illness and my experience with Dr. Sheperd and her staff exceeded my expectations.

Dr. Sheperd is a sharp, caring, and pleasant derm! She has been my dermatologist for years and has done everything from removing suspicious moles (leaving no scars) to providing laser therapy for accidental cuts and providing fillers for my face. I could not be more satisfied with her services and her friendly, pleasant and sweet demeanor. I have referred her to many friends who are just as pleased as I am!!! I have never been disappointed and could rave on and on about her office. The staff is incredible and is SO up to date on every trend, machine, and technique. My next appointment is 2 days away and I am very much looking forward to it.

My husband, daughter and I are all long-​time patients of this practice. We initially saw Dr. Sheperd for plantar warts on my daughter’s feet. A previous dermatologist sent months treating the disorder to no effect, so we changed to Dr. Sheperd (then Stith). She took one look at my daughter and went right to work. She accomplished more in half an hour than the previous doctor had in 6 weeks. Later, when my husband had several serious skin cancers, she addressed the issues immediately; and she spent as much time with us as we needed, for patient information, consultation, and frankly, comfort.

Really bad. By the way, she changed her practice name from Dr. «Stith» to Dr. «Shepard».
I waited for almost 45 minutes the first time, after calling to check that she was running on time. I’ll give most places the benefit of the doubt the first time. When I went back the second time, they made me wait almost an hour. The third time (and the last) was again an hour. That alone is bad for a dermatologist’s office (no emergencies that walk in last minute).
But the finally straw was Dr. Shepard/Stith’s absolute arrogance. She is inconsiderate of her patients, full of herself, and unprofessional once she finally does get around to seeing you. You’re lucky if she spends 8 minutes with you.
To be fair to the others in her office, and to end on a positive note, her staff was nice. That’s about all I can find that’s positive, though.
