I am a patient of Dr. Sheppard from decades ago, when he treated me in the hospital for a lower bowel obstruction. I just as recent as this week had a
concern with my health requiring surgery (totally unrelated to my digestive system) in this instance.
I wanted to consult Dr. Shepppard for some post op concerns related to this surgery though he wasn't the surgeon. I was scheduled to see Dr. Sheppard on Tuesday(1/13/26). He was very personable, patient and kind with me, as what I've only known him to be from past experiences. Without going into the details about the concerns I had that caused me to make my appointment ; he clearly put my mind to rest about my concerns post recent surgery. as I already stated totally unrelated to his type surgery practice.
Dr. Sheppard is clearly not confused about the callimg on his life.He is absolutely definitely one of God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to bring his compassionate ministry of healing to all who are blessed to call him their doctor. I truly love Dr. Sheppard. May God bless him
to live a very long time ! thank You God for Dr.Ray Sheppard, Jr. If anyone needs a general surgeon you need not seek any where beyond Dr.Ray Sheppard,Jr.

Dr. Sheppard as a surgeon and as a person is great! My mom raved about him for years, so when I needed a simple surgery I requested him, and I’m glad I did. I had a cyst removed from my shoulder and it healed exceptionally well—there is hardly a trace of a scalpel.
Recently, I needed another surgery, and I went to Dr. Sheppard so he could implant a port with a neck catheter The tube for the catheter blended in so well with my neck tendons that it took me at a week to even notice it, and I have a skinny neck.. The port is very small, and was placed in a spot that is usually covered by a shirt. It is noticeable close up (as it should be), but even then it isn’t glaringly obvious. I have worn several fitted tee’s and the port does not stick out.
After 2 surgeries by Dr. Sheppard, I can truthfully say that he is a great surgeon, with a great bedside manner, and I100% recommend him.
**Prior to the operating room he asks if he can pray for you—his prayers are sincere, and not canned. I pray to myself 100 times before a procedure, and I am grateful that he takes the extra time (they aren’t short prayers lol) to pray with and for me. For those that are opposed to him praying before surgery, please don’t let that sway you from a great surgeon—he does ask and you can say no.**

Multiple negative experiences with doctors this year. So bad I left my primary care who I had for 21 years. Won’t even talk about an experience I had with a urologist. My attitude towards doctors was very negative. Dr Sheppard and his staff specifically Anne restored my belief that doctors can be Caring. Truly exceptional person making him an outstanding doctor. I wish he did long term primary care. Highly recommend him for your needs.
