Sometimes I think that my timing was just incredible. If I had been diagnosed with cancer a few years earlier, my prognosis would have looked much different than it does today—especially if I had not gone to Fox Chase!

Excellent doctor.The scheduling team is very unprofessional
Good experience
Dr Shepard and his staff are always very attentive [...]
The doctor was entirely focused on his computer, never providing eye contact. Because if his mask, low, deep voice, and no eye contact I had difficulty hearing him.
I am very grateful for the level of concern for my health shown by Dr Shepard and his staff.
Excellent.
This was the first time I saw DR. Shepard since my previous neurosurgeon left Temple and I was referred to Dr Shepard. I was very impressed and feel comfortable with him and his staff.
Superb professional.
