Victory Medical has always been an excellent place for my medical needs. My family has been going there for 25+ years and will continue to go there. All their staff are friendly, professional and reliable.
Verified patient
I had a terrible experience overall though a lot of it was out of their hands. I booked an appointment through zocdoc for a dermatologist. This was the top rated person on the list. However, she is not a dermatologist. Despite me giving direct information through zocdoc for the reason for my visit, this was not caught ahead of time. To make things worse, I sat in the waiting room for over 90 minutes and was told that this wait is very typical. Once I was finally taken in, the woman was nice, but there was still a major disconnect as I was expecting a dermatologist check up and they were expecting to give me an annual? I have no idea. Once the doctor arrived, the confusion continued as she thought she knew me so kind of barged in, didn’t introduce herself and went right into staring at the computer screen asking questions about my labs. I was never asked what brought me in for the visit. That would have fixed the mixup sooner. Once we finally got to it, she notified me that she isn’t a dermatologist and that zocdoc has done this before. After nearly three hours in the office, I left. They were insistent on having me pay a copay before leaving but finally relented since I did not actually have a check up of any kind at all.
Very quick, in & out appointment which I love. Easy to book an appointment as well. Got me an RX and a referral to a specialist. Everything I needed.
The best!

I recommend Sharon to all of my friends. She is an amazing practitioner! She is extremely thorough and works hard to connect the dots in a diagnosis instead of just throwing a prescription at you. She researches to determine the root cause of the issue and we go from there. Truly, in my experience, she is in a class of her own!

I had a long wait time due to some technical issue, However, I was very pleased with the visit and would do it again. I really like Dr. Shepherd and the system in place. Everyone was very nice to me and very helpful.

This was a telephone appointment and I would recommend that Zocdoc or Victory make the instructions clear for what to do to "see" your clinician. I had NO idea that I was supposed to sign in to the patient portal and "wait" there for Sharon. I thought I was waiting for a phone call from her. I called the Victory office after waiting for 15 minutes and then received instructions. Sharon was involved with an emergency procedure and I appreciated that after about 35 minutes, I received a call letting me know that Sharon would be with me in about 10 minutes. Sharon became available at 1:28, my appointment was scheduled for 12:30. I had a Zoom meeting for my job at 1:30 so I asked to reschedule. Sharon was great and put me on the calendar, same day, at 3:15 p.m. Once we finally connected, I had a terrific appointment. Sharon is extremely thorough and explains things in a way that I can understand. She takes her time and I felt like I understood the plan moving forward. I highly recommend Sharon! She is a top practitioner!!
Sharon was great as well as her assistant. I appreciate the both of them so much! It’s only been 2 days since I’ve been in the office and the medication I was prescribed has made me feel so much better. Sharon even went the extra step for additional testing just to be sure which l really appreciated. Thank you so much! God bless y’all.

Sharon Shepherd was professional and caring. She conversed with me without seeming as though she was in a rush or like she was disinterested. I enjoy conversing with providers in an effort to humanize them and make myself feel more comfortable. She not only held conversation with me, but she was caring up until the moment I left her office. I had a great experience with Sharon. I'd feel good about referring her to any of my friends or family members.
Verified patient
Sharon was kind, thoughtful, and thorough. She took time to ask questions and consider my symptoms. I am grateful that my friend recommended her!
Verified patient
Sharon is the best practitioner I have ever had the pleasure of being treated by. Her bedside manor is a 10. She takes time to think about your individual issues and thinks outside of the box. This is the first time I have gone out of my way to keep seeing the same practitioner year after year. I highly recommend her and refer people to her often.
Verified patient
Time time was too long. The front desk staff nor Mrs. Shepherd showed any apathy when I talked to them about the long wait time. The has happened again and again. Mrs. Shepherd is a great NP and takes her time with me, she cares and wants to resolve many issues. I would just want the office to work on her scheduling maybe allowing her more time and letting people be aware of the possible wait time. This clinic is close to my house and love going there.
Verified patient
Great.
Excellent care & high quality customer service. The staff is friendly, capable, and provides wonderful service & values patient feedback.
I think she is wonderful. She listens to everything you say, and is very dedicated to helping you in every way you think you need...which for me is in a very from nature kind of way. I love that she mixes Eastern & Western medicine.
It's like catching up with a friend.
Quick and Dr. Sheppard was nice.
Sharon Shephard has been my NP since 2007 & she/Dr. Franklin were chosen off my Blue Cross/Blue Shield provider list. She is extremely knowledable and thourough. She diagnosed a thyroid condition I had suffered from through lab work. No other doctor I saw previously ordered labs to be done. Very understanding about my current condition. Does not say " It's in my head".
Sharon was great, as usual. Listened to me, gave good advice. Extremely knowledgeable ie: both allopathic & alternative medicine. Explained everything thoroughly. Answered all my questions.
