Review for Dr. Anireddy

Dr. Shepherd listened very carefully to my foot history and current problems. I've seen several podiatrists over the years and he's the first to actually listen and offer a course of treatment.

Review for Dr. Shepherd

After a referral to this medical practice, I applied for an appointment online. Three requests over months were ignored with the message that the office would get back to me. A huge NO! to a practice that is so uncaring and non-communicative. The 'treatment' I can attest to is none.

Mary Ames Apr 02 2024

Review for Dr. Keller

Complained that I began crying when I spoke about my recent falls in my patient portal. Bruised shoulder, three bruised ribs over my heart, difficulty breathing, difficulty sleeping, fractured kneecap. No medical assistance.
