have never, ever met a chiropractor who was as attentive and talented as Dr. Shepard. He's not one of those chiropractors who tries to reel you in and keep you as his perpetual patient simply to make a buck from you. If he never saw you again because you were doing fantastic, he'd be thrilled! If he knows of something else that might help or if he even just has a few *potential* ideas, he'll tell you - i.e. taking a vitamin complex to help migraines, switching from a stick shift vehicle to an automatic transmission for pain in the left leg, referring to an MD for pain meds and muscle relaxers, seeing a surgeon if you're beyond his scope of repair, etc. This man genuinely cares about his patients. He keeps very detailed notes on each patient's progress - so much so that he could easily pinpoint what works and what doesn't work. When he asks how you're doing, a simple "Okay" won't suffice. He wants to know how you've *really* been feeling. How have you been sleeping? What kind of pain are you in? How long does it last? Does it radiate? How are the headaches? How often do you get them? How does the pain feel exactly? Where do you feel it? What do you do to treat them? Are there any activities that cause an increase in pain? Do you wake up because of pain or wake up in pain? The list could go on and on. Since he is a wellness doctor, he takes a very broad look at why you're experiencing the pain you're in, and he has a whole gammut of ways to treat his patients. He is very particular about the equipment he selects. From the Kinesiotape, to the Pettibon equipment, to the tables he uses, to the spinal rejuvenation tables - he knows them inside and out and he chooses everything with great scrutiny. He is a graduate of Palmer School of Chiropractic, and he has a large amount of techniques at his disposal. I now refuse to see any chiropractor who didn't graduate from Palmer because of the vast array of techniques that Palmer teaches. Not all chiropractors are created equal, but Scott is truly the best of the best - and believe me, I've seen a LOT of chiropractors (namely, 9 in the last ~2 years). He saved me on numerous occasions, and I only wish I lived closer so I could be his patient again. All of his staff members were simply great as well. From reception, to billing, to chiropractic assistant, to the physical therapist - all of them were great and were always a pleasure to work with. I would recommend this office 10 million times over.
