Jeffrey Shepherd, M.D.

The whole experience of my knee replacement was very professional and done with care and totally explained so as to give me reassurance and a peace of mind!

On time, Tom Swan gave me a knee shot, totally painless, good customer service.

It would have been nice to see Dr.Shepherd who did my surgery instead of Dr. Tom.

He’s so personable. Didn’t feel rushed or that he didn’t have time to answer my questions

Dr. Shepherd is both personable and professional. I could not have had better results from my hip replacement surgery.

Personal and professional.

Knowledgeable and answered our questions!

Had knee injection - was in & out quickly

Very professional, communicated exactly what we need to do

I trust him and like that he always wants to know how I feel about things he suggested.!’ I thioridazine he’s one of the good guys!

Answered questions in a kind manner.

If I'm ever ready for my second problem knee to be replaced, I will call Dr Shepherd. The entire staff was professional and helpful.

Dr Shepherd & his staff were excellent and very helpful. My husband is reluctant about having his knee replaced but he was very helpful in answering his questions.

Dr. Shepherd is always efficient and caring during my interactions with him. I appreciate the concern and care

Building is gorgeous. Very timely and all staff very professional. Dr Shepherd communicated clearly and explained issues thoroughly.

Dr.Shepherd and his staff are the best. They know what they can do to help you get better. Trust them and you will not go wrong.

Excellent care and service

They took time for us and were very thorough in examining my knee.

Excellent care and very happy with my two new knees!😁

Dr. Shepherd is a phenomenal surgeon!!! I recommend him to everyone I know!!

He was an excellent communicator and easy to have meaningful dialogue with. Also, I enjoyed his focus and he did not make me feel rushed during my consult.

He takes time to answer question and goes over XRay and explains what is on the xray.

Warm Helpful But I mostly saw his pa.

Very professional. Makes a diagnosis quickly and provides a plan.

Dr Shepherd is the best! Wish other Drs. had the expertise, energy, and encouragement he has. Staff is awesome too!

Professional, personable, communicative, & successful knee replacement. In fact, so successful that I returned 3 years later for other knee replacement. Success again!

Put me completely at ease during the appointment.

EXCELLENT Dr.!!!!

Dr was friendly, clearly explained my diagnosis and answered all my questions.

Absolutely the best doctor. I can now walk straight again many thanks to Dr. Shepherd. I so appreciate Dr Shepherd

Very nice Dr. But found out he wasn't the Dr. to help me with my osteoarthritis aches. He directed me to the Dr. I need to see. And hope that will be soon after I get a MRI. Would recommend him to anyone needing a Dr. for back problems.

Thank you for good news!

I didn’t get to talk to Dr Shepherd. I would have liked to.

Love his professional demeanor and his kind bed side manner. He genuinely loves what he does to make people physically better.

I felt he really listened to my goals and issues I needed taken care of.

Best ever, my second surgery and wouldn't go to anyone else!

Dr Shepherd was very personable, professional & easy to talk to about my health issues. AOA is a great office!

Dr. Shepherd gave me 2 new knees. Awesome job!

My right hip joint was replaced. Surgery went great. Dr. Shepherd showed my joint on the x-ray prior to surgery, so I could see what he was going to correct. Post surgery x-ray after 4 weeks showed my new parts and how he had lengthened my right leg to level my pelvis. I am extremely pleased with the surgery. The office had a new patient record system that required me to enter the same information that I had entered into the prior record system just the month before. That small part was annoying, but the surgery was right on target. Thanks, Doc!

I like his manor with the patient and how he explains things, he did my knee replacement five years and now will do my right hip replacement in a couple of months I also like his PA Tom.

Very skilled

Recommend him!

Very good doctor did my total knee replacement and things went great! Doctor is very informative and answers all your questions.

Initial visit was very positive and straight forward

Thanks Tom for care and personal attention. Friendly and open

Very nice and actually listened to me.

Dr. Shepherd is very professional but also personal, he is very pleasant. He is what we wish all of our doctors would be! And of course, he’s an excellent surgeon. Had no issues at all with either knee that he replaced. Thank you Dr. Shepherd 😊

He comes highly recommended

My initial consultation with Dr Shepherd yesterday was a great experience. He was very personable and put my fears to rest with his knowledge of my deteriorated knee joint/bone deformation and how my life will be better with the total knee replacement. Truly- who wants to be cut on, but who wants to live with limited activity? I’m still young and active at 58 and feel I’m in great hands so here we go! Sincerely Kelly

Dr. Shepherd and staff are the best!

I saw him 1 time before the surgery and then never again??

very nice

He is a wonderful doctor take time with you and explains any concerns.

Very happy with my knee replacement. Will have the other one done soon. I will have it done by him and at the same hospital.

Very happy with my care

An excellent doctor & wonderful staff!

Dr Shepard is great! He explains things well. He does not come off as rushed and gives you time to ask all your questions.

He's great,, going to fix my leg.

explained issues and my options perfectly

Dr. Shepherd did an excellent job on my knee replacement. His mannerism is excellent too. I had two friends that he did replacements and they were very pleased with the results. Since my replacement, I’ve talked to several people that he replaced their knees and they were pleased. I have nothing but positive words for Dr. Shepherd and have recommended him to several people.

Great Surgen ,bedside manner is awesome, would recommend him to anyone that needs a hip replacement

Actually saw Tom, his PA.

Left HAPPY, EXCITED for new knees!! Answered details of HOW TO DO!! PARTS FIT, etc. He did not act rushed through the visit, was very thorough with answers. THANKS

Thank you

Highly skilled surgeon

Jeff is an outstanding surgeon. Had my left knee replaced back in April, and then my right knee for a 3rd two weeks ago and it is feeling great. The only negative I have it seems like his practice takes on too many patients. When I got my staples out I didn't even see Tom. This is a major surgery that it would have been nice to see Tom or Doc, even for just a few seconds for them to look at and give me a warm and fuzzy. Otherwise I would not hesitate to let Jeff replace your knee, he does great work.

Great surgeon! Knee is great

I had my six weeks post total knee replacement surgery check up yesterday. While I am very confident with PA Tom Swan, I was surprised that I didn’t even see Dr. Shepherd at that check up.

Make one feel comfortable and not just another patient. Explains in easy to understand terms and does not pressure you. I would recommend DR. Shepherd to any one needing help with issued that I have experienced.

Very professional yet personable. Very meticulous with his work

Skilled, efficient, professional.

Dr Shepard

Dr. Shepherd listened to my concerns. He is personable while being very professional and knowledgeable. I would go to no one else. Superior doctor.

AMAZING, EXCELLENT SURGEON!!! Kind, caring, and a TERRIFIC Team!!! He is so WONDERFUL, he has many patients, I didn't get to spend much time with him, BUT what time I did get to talk one-on-one was great! I praise God for fixing my dislocated hip and making it possible for me to walk again!!! Thank you ??

I don't usually have double hip replacement , but when I do I prefer Dr Shepherd .

Very professional and knowledgeable

Can't go wrong with Dr Shepherd and staff. Has done a knee and hip on me and getting ready to do the other hip. So nice to be able to function pain free.

I don’t see Dr Shepherd; I see Tom and would rate him excellent.

Thank you for showing you care to all of you

I rarely ever actually see him, I just get shots.

Dr. Shepherd was the Orthopedic Doctor that helped our 5 year old when she broke her arm. He was very informative and our daughter loved him!

I will recommend Doctor Shepherd to anyone who needs a knee replacement surgery. He was kind and his bedside manner is impeccable!

First time meeting the doctor. Haven’t been to an orthopedic doctor before so not sure I was prepared enough with questions on a decision I need to make. He gave his suggestion/recommendation

Very personable and informative. Has answers to my questions. Staff very good and efficient.

Great

First visit to AOA, Dr. Shepherd was very good at explaining the problem, and offered honest opinions on treatment options.

Excellent Doctor

a little to quick in office visit - I felt a little rushed to answer questions.

I thought he was thorough, direct and I liked his solution to my hip problem. The nurse forgot to give me any thing about exercises to do at home.

Dr. Shepherd was very professional as well as personable. I feel very comfortable heading into my surgery with him.

Dr. Shepherd is sharp!!! Grateful to find him!!!

Very informative and straight forward. Will recommend to friends and family.

Everyone at this office is amazing! So glad my Dr referred me to Dr Shepard.

Dr. Shepherd is very personable and knowledgeable. I trust his assessment of my condition.

saw only DR TOM for knee injection

Dr. Shepherd is an excellent surgeon. He has replaced my knee & hip. His work has given me a new lease on life.

Awesome doc....! Two knees in 2020. Thank You!

Dr. Shepherd is an excellent doctor. I have recommended him to several people here in Hutchinson. He listens! He gives the most honest advice, even if it isn't what you want to here. He doesn't jump on replacements if you don't need it, like some doctors do.

It is hard to judge the man, he has seen me more asleep than i have awake. surgery recovery seems to be going well

Great doctir

Listened to me

I did not see the dr

Great Dr! Listens to your problems and gives solutions!

I am impressed with Dr Shepherd, this was my first visit and I felt comfortable with him

Dr. Shepherd was very informative and clear in explaining my situation. He built confidence in my mind as he explained his PAs capabilities in administering the shots needed in my knees. (I am terrified of needles) l would like to add that I was impressed with his PA as he explained the shots as he administered them. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED!

Very professional, informative & pleasant to talk to. He explained while showing me my x-rays & gave me advice which I appreciated. Nice Doctor.

Very Very Good!!!!!!!

I am finally free from osteoarthritis pain in my knees and it is a wonderful feeling. I have had other arthritis related surgeries so I knew there would be initial pain and stiffness. However, I attribute effective pain management and physical therapy, prescribed by Dr. Shepherd, as positive factors in my recovery. Now I feel like a new person, and know I will continue to feel better through regular exercise and remaining active.

Dr. Shepherd is a real pro. Not only medically but his interpersonal skills with his patients are wonderful. I felt like he cared about me and he took the time to address all of my concerns. That means a lot because I can't say the same about many doctors I have visited.

Would highly recommend , kind doctor and staff very knowledgeable

Friendly, informative, knowledgeable doctor. Answered all my questions.

Great guy to talk to as a straight talk here is what we need to do and no pressure.

Great doctor.

Very good Surgent has done both of my knees now I’m very happy with them

He listened to what I had to say. I felt confident on his assessment of my knees and what needs to be done to proceed.

Hard to rate him after a brief visit with him. I'll know better after the surgery. I hope he's a 5-star surgeon.

Questions were answered to my satisfaction,and helpfully so.I appreciate the care I received and will recommend highly to anyone who asks!!!

Always a gentleman and willing to answer any questions and with a smile on his fce

Very attentive staff, good customer service. Dr. Shepherd took time to show and explain the diagnosis and options thoroughly, and find the choice that best suited the patient's need.

Dr. Shepherd was very friendly and answered all my questions. He did not act like he had to rush off to the next patient when I had additional questions. This always makes me feel like a doctor cares about your well being and you are not just another number to them.

Very knowledgeable and caring

Very personable and understanding.

On time, efficient, explained everything, knowledgeable and has a great smile!

Tom Swan is Awesome !!

Dr. Shepherd is great. I feel he does everything he can to make my 92 year old mom comfortable. We trust him and feel very safe in his care

Kind, efficient, and reassuring (a post- op visit).

Dr. Shepherd is a wonderful and caring doctor.

To the point and pleasant.

His patient care is so kind.

I like the doctor but i am frustrated with his staff.

Dr. Shepherd is amazing!!! His PA, Tom, is amazing also!

My first visit, I liked his honesty and hopefully we can both accomplish what is best for me.

Very organized group.

I think I will be very comfortable with him any time I need him. Do wish it was easier to get into him

Dr Shepard was recommended to me by several people. He did not disappoint

Always friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. I couldn’t have had a better total knee experience. Felt that he had my best interest and were always there to help. Dr. Shepherd is excellent and I was fortunate to have had him as my surgeon.

Excellent surgeon

Dr. Shepherd is easy to talk and also shows empathy towards his patients. Always tell me what’s going to take place afterwards in physical therapy.

He's my hero. 14 knee surgeries with bad results, he did some kind of hinge replacement. Here I am walking bending and as pain free as I've been in 40 years@

I didn't see the doctor, I just get injections in my knees, I enjoy visiting and having Tom ( I believe that's his name) inject my knees, he is very friendly and very knowledgeable

Answered all my questions.

Friendly. Spent enough time with me. The first time I saw him, what he prescribed worked well. I’m hoping for the same outcome with this problem.

Great doctor and Great Guy!!!

Very knowledgeable and able to explain everything you need to know. Will definitely keep using him for future repairs when needed.

First time visit was punctual and kind. Scheduled my MRI for that day since I was from out of town.

He listens to what you say & doesn't seem to be rushing you. He makes you feel he cares. He is young, however, he is excellent at what he does. Love Him!

I would have like to see Dr Sheperd more than what I did. I saw him for about 3 min before my surgery and after my surgery I never saw him again until my follow up appointments.

Appreciated him seeing us on short notice. Very efficient and personable.

Dr. Shepherd was great. He was very professional and has a professional staff.

I have no reason to think otherwise. I appreciate its being done robotically. I also feel that he’s had enough experience with this procedure. It is actually good to get one who has been well trained - as he has apparently been.

He explained very detailed my problem. Made me feel relaxed and I walked away understanding my options

Awesome

Dr. Shepherd provided a friendly, straightforward exam and plan for a problematic knee replacement. Highly recommended!

Very friendly and professional. He made me feel at ease. Communication was clear.

The best of the best.

Down to earth guy, little med speak, but will give detail if you ask. Never felt like he was in a hurry to leave.

He took 10 min to take me on to do my knee. Thank you for squeezing me in!!

Dr. Shepherd and his PA and staff are the very best in this area and perhaps the nation. I wouldn't have anyone else do a knee replacement on me and I've had both done exactly one year apart by Dr. Shepherd.

Professional and personal.

Excellent surgeon with wonderful bedside manner! My total knee replacement has gone much more smoothly than I anticipated. Many friends recommended him to me and now I know why!

They were excellent getting me in on time an X-ray a shot an I was out of there and from the front desk to the last person I seen they were professional an kind

The doctor did a great surgery and the hospital was wonderful.

Busy office but was attended to quickly

Love his easy manners, and how he explains things to me.

I was unsure before the initial appointment who/where I would have my knee joints replaced. After the consultation I'm convinced that Dr Shepherd and AOA are the right choice for me.

Dr Shepherd is very professional and has excellent bedside manner!!

Very friendly, knowledgeable and so down to earth. Spent time explaining things to you!!

Very good at helping me to understand my situation Thank you

Very thorough and easy to talk to.

Dr.Shepherd informed my family member and I about my concerned issue. Answered all questions and referred me for further help. Great office visit.

Superior surgeon

He was very under standing and listened to what I had to say.

One of the best to work on my knee yet,2 thumbs up.

Met Dr. Shepherd briefly found him to be informed and personal.

Very caring person. Took time to listen.

As a new patient Jeff spent extra time with me

Dr. Shepherd is a professional who does an exceptional job on total knee replacement. He also has a PA who is always available to help treat patients and who is also very knowledgeable.

Excellent job (both knees replaced) and very likable.

Dr. Shepherd answered all of my questions, and spoke to me in detail about my recovery. During my visit everyone on staff were courteous and professional.

Very good dr explains questions very simple to understand .

Informative, positive, professional, and friendly

I like his direct attitude. He is capable and very reassuring.

Excellent bedside manner! I appreciate him taking time and explaining everything!

Explained the condition of my left hip with easy-to-understand references to the x-ray. Gave options.

Great surgeon. Easy to talk to

He seemed genuine in his interest in my problem and didn't make me feel rushed...had time to listen.

Dr. Shepherd was professional and informative. He offered me options for my care and treatment. Additionally he offered a sense of humor and kindness to my first appointment with him.

Through, caring, makes the patient feel confident in their surgeon. Thanks Dr Shep. And your team is excellent!

Total rock star for the Orthopedic venue.

Good guy knows what he is doing

Dr Shepherd is the best. Clear communication, appropriate treatment (nothing unnecessary). He did both of my hips, both 100% successful.

cooperative pleasant staff

He listens and cares and isn't all about the numbers.

He was fine - it’s just that I’d met him on the Friday prior and basically I was only there to confirm my knee replacement surgery date AMD I sat there for an hour!! Nothing ‘til Tom Swan saw that the desk had let me sit there for an hour!

Great visit.

I like him and also his staff. All very helpful. Answers all my questions.

I really liked Dr. Shepherd! He did my TKR in February and he really took his time with me and answered all my questions. Great bedside manner!

Very Personable

Very satisfied fast response great care

This was the first time we met Dr Shepherd, we were impressed with his honesty. He told us things that happened to Mary in her earlier stay at the hospital, which no one else took time to tell us. Dr Shepherd gained our trust and respect.

The man is a genius!

Hi is one of the best doctors I have consultar Im thankful for I services

Friendly, easy to talk with. Answers questions in a way I can understand

Dr. Shepherd was great! He went over my X-Rays and MRI with me and referred me to someone that was better suited to treat what I'm dealing with.

Such a nice truly caring Doctor.

Kind good listener and did an excellent job with the knee replacement.

He is very attentive and tries to make your goals for your health! Nice guy!

Very good at showing the XRAY and explaining what was going to happen, and what was wrong.

The staff an dr shepherd was great an we got a plan for my right knee thanx

Excel consultation & spot on diagnosis!!

Fantastic. Had both knees done. Excellent surgeon, wonderfull bedside manner and very personable. After 2 knee surgerys, i would not hesitate to go to him again for any ortho issues i may end up with. Also, Surgery support staff was outstanding.

I really liked Dr. Shepherd! His diagnosis was thoughtful and helpful.

Dr. Shepherd Is a caring physician who makes the time needed to reassure his patients. Yes. I would and do refer friends to him.

Dr. Shepherd is wonderful. He explains everything, has a great bedside manner. He changed my quality of life.

I was very pleased with my experience at the front desk and throughout my visit. Everything was explainied very well. I’m looking forward to feeling much before long . Thank you all very much.

Very great DR found my problem in a hurry set me up for surgery very pleased . Also have recommended to others .

Knowledgable and his PA Tom is very experienced. I left with a feeling of confidence.

Vey nice

Wonderful compassionate Doctor.

Nurses told me I had a fantastic doctor and that’s who they’d have do their surgery. I thought they said this to make you feel confident about the doctor. I heard it again so I jokingly said that’s what you say about all the doctors. “No!”

Extremely professional, explained what was most likely causing the knee pain and provided a plan to relieve the pain.

Great doctor & great staff. Explained everything thoroughly.

Friendly and very helpful explaining everthing. Wish we had come to you 5 years ago

Very personable, and professional. I felt very comfortable with him and am sure he will do a great job giving me a new knee.

Love the personable approach by Dr Sheppard ! I found out just what I needed by asking the questions I had long wondered about! to him helping me with a future surgery.

Very professional & tells it like it is. Was not in a rush & answered my questions without one foot out the door.

Personable. Professional. Takes his time to answer your questions. Explained procedure and why he chose method he did. Supplemented xrays with very clear model. Inspires confidence

Great bedside manner. Knowledgeable. Professional. Listens to and acknowledges patient concerns and questions. Well organized. Thorough. Friendly.

Great physician will continue to come and send friends and family members. Thamks

Dr Shepherd along with his PA Tom Swan made me feel comfortable & ready to have surgery.

Dr Shepherd, Tom Swan, and Angie are rock stars. Office staff is superb, I just don't know all their names.

If I had a "third knee" I would want Dr. Shepherd to do my surgery!

Very positive experience, very thorough and took adequate time for exam and explanation of findings .

First off, Michelle and Dr Tom very friendly and lot of knowledge. Dr Jeff you impressed me big time and having surgery the 21st and sure want to have it sooner, total trust in this man and his ability and friend Dr Turner has trust as well.

Dr Shepherd and and Tom PA are awesome

Dr Shepherd seemed pleasant and knowledgeable enough, but he also came off as a bit cocky and hurried, like it was a waste of his time to sit down and have a conversation with someone he was ready to saw apart.

Made me wait months.
