This is the absolute best dentist you can find. The staff and nurses are awesome too. I have seen 4 dentists in the last 6 years and I will never go to anyone but Dr. Sheppard as long as he's around. I will drive hours to go to Dr Sheppard. I used to be afraid of going to the dentist, to the point of letting my teeth break and being incapacitated by pain before seeking dental help. But Dr Sheppard legitimately gives me confidence that I can get dental work done and it wont be the terrifyingly painful experience I had as a kid. Both tooth extractions from Dr. Sheppard have not only been fast and painless, but they've both healed faster and more thoroughly than any other extraction I've had.(And I've had 7...) This man is the quickest, the most painless, the absolute most thorough dentist I've ever been to. Im sure other dentists are good, but i can just about guarantee you that if you think your dentist is good and you give Dr Sheppard a try that you'll be switching dentists asap.

My 5 year old sons crown came out last night, we called Wildwood Dental and then got us in for 1:00 today. My son has extreme anxiety about dentists, this was by far the most pleasant and relaxed my child has ever been at the dentist. The staff is absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for your time and help. You are all very appreciated!

Having had A LOT of dental work over the years, much of it problematic, I think I'm my opinion comes with a fair amount of validity. I believe I am qualified to be able to identify professionals that operate at the highest level... even on my first visit. Having said that Dr. Sheppard's office seems to be filled with some of the most qualified and experienced care providers and support staff I have encounter. The atmosphere was exceptional as well! There haven't been very many times I actually enjoyed dental visits... however in this case I did. But was it really necessary to take my pictures? Yikes. :)

I was recommended to this dentist thru family members . Of course I red the reviews and they were fantastic. I thought it was "top notch" until my awful experience. I've had plenty of work done on my teeth. I've had braces and wisdom teeth removed from another office. I wanted to try the new innovative machines and take advantage of specials,I changed my longtime dentist for this one. I came in early to get 2 fillings done and ended up in the ER. I litterly had to get taken to the hospital from his office. Not only do I now suffer from PTSD, I can't go back to the dentist or even think about a dentist without having a panic attack. Long story short he used too much anesthesia that it litterly closed up my air pathway. Him and his assistants lacked in training and left me alone to panic while they figured out what to do. I was hallucinating when I finally had them call my emergency contact and 911.I felt like I was dying alone. He left my teeth opened and exposed not being able to complete the simple filling. Eventually came back to get temporary fillings after the hospital because my teeth where exposed. I'm stuck with bills and temporarys still on my teeth. Dr.Sheppard had the audacity to bill me. I'm still paying for ER Vist, ambulance and the testing to see if I was allergic to the anesthesia. ( which I'm not). Stay Far Away!

Dr.Sheppard and his staff are AWESOME! I have never been more comfortable and trusting of a dentist. When Dr.Shappard and his daughters and dog came in, I asked "Is that the dentist?". He was so NORMAL looking and very personable. He explained in detail what was going to happen and my husband and I walked out of there so ready to start our journey with Dr.Sheppard! He is so down to earth and loves his staff and family, you can tell that right away. This is the dentist we have been waiting for and Grass Valley desperately needs someone like Dr.Sheppard!

It's been 3 years since I've seen a dentist. Life happens. I chipped a filling and came in. Very knowledgeable! Very professional. Very socialable. I instantly felt comfortable with the Dr. and his staff. Highly recommended.
