WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING

Dr. Sheppard is one of the most friendly, and compassionate people I have ever met and I've only met him one time. His values and beliefs are reflected through his staff as well.

Justin Martin

Dr Sheppard and staff are extremely friendly and helpful. It is nice to have a doctor that takes the time to visit with you and then follow up personally. A great alternative if you don't have insurance.

David Cheek

We've been members since January 2022. Our whole family has benefited from this practice. The convenience of having a physician we can text at any time is invaluable. Whenever I have a health question, I can ask freely and receive an honest, understandable answer. The staff are all knowledgeable and personable.

Alek Miller

I cannot say enough good about Free Market Physician in Neosho, Missouri. We are self-employed and so we do not have traditional insurance. The direct-care model is the right way for sure and Dr. Sheppard is the BEST doctor ever.

Tanya Murray

I have been a patient for almost 5 years and it was the best decision I ever made for my healthcare. If you would like to know what it is like to have a Dr who KNOWS you and is accessible 24/7 then check out this Direct Primary Care model!
