Dr. Sheppard has not only changed my life but the lives of my family members. I came in with extreme foot pain that is now all but gone. As a bonus the doctor informed me of an over the counter cream that has allowed me to wear sandals again. This cream has also transformed my mom, aunt and uncles feet to looking young and healthy.
