Matthew J Shepard, MD 320 East North Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15212

"Had a wonderful experience with Dr. Shepard. He took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions and explain my tests and scans. Would highly recommend him!!!"

"My long time partner and I saw Dr Shepard a few months ago because of his long term back pain. Dr Shepard promptly had scans done and while he could have recommended surgery as many do, he suggested we see a physiatrist to determine if PT could help. He not only arranged that appointment, but also found a physical therapist certified for back problems but also for Parkinson’s(my partners earlier diagnosis). We couldn’t be happier with the care and the outcome - avoided surgery and back pain is gone! Bravo Dr Shepard!!"

"If you want to be gaslighted and have your symptoms and conditions down played. If you want to be ignored and only watch as he talks to your husband and not you. And in the end he turns to your husband and tells him you can walk around and go shopping. And you have been suffering for 4 years with 3 bulging discs, spinal stenosis, facet joint disease, arthritis, scoliosis, retrolisthesis, flat back syndrome. And you haven’t left your house in those 4 years except for doctor appointments and live in sedentary because you hurt so bad you can’t do what you used to do, and used to be active and happy and now live in a state of constant depression because you mourn the old you. Only to be offered no real pain relief. Then by all means go see this doctor. If you have good insurance chances are you might be treated better."
