"Dr. Sheppard SAVED MY HAIR! I've always had long thick hair all my life until I started experiencing hair loss and extreme shedding... I saw results after the first month."

"This place is the most poorly run medical practice I have ever encountered. The doctors that I've seen are all nice and seem intelligent, but they are always in a rush. The staff turns over so frequently."
