I am a patient of Dr. Sheppard from decades ago, when he treated me in the hospital for a lower bowel obstruction. I just as recent as this week had a
concern with my health requiring surgery (totally unrelated to my digestive system) in this instance.
I wanted to consult Dr. Shepppard for some post op concerns related to this surgery though he wasn't the surgeon. I was scheduled to see Dr. Sheppard on Tuesday(1/13/26). He was very personable, patient and kind with me, as what I've only known him to be from past experiences. Without going into the details about the concerns I had that caused me to make my appointment ; he clearly put my mind to rest about my concerns post recent surgery. as I already stated totally unrelated to his type surgery practice.
Dr. Sheppard is clearly not confused about the callimg on his life.He is absolutely definitely one of God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus to bring his compassionate ministry of healing to all who are blessed to call him their doctor. I truly love Dr. Sheppard. May God bless him
to live a very long time ! thank You God for Dr.Ray Sheppard, Jr. If anyone needs a general surgeon you need not seek any where beyond Dr.Ray Sheppard,Jr.

I was very pleased with the outcome of the whole process. I’m not looking forward to the surgery but I’m very glad to have a Doctor of his caliber taking care of my issues. I highly recommend him if you have a need for a surgeon. His entire office is quite a team! Read less
Ray Sheppard Jr., MD, has never been able to dunk a basketball and he lacks any musical aptitude, but he was blessed with a mind and talent for surgery. This, coupled with his compassionate approach to every patient who walks through his doors in Madison and Huntsville, Alabama, makes him an excellent choice for general surgery. After graduating magna cum laude with a degree in physics from Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Dr. Sheppard went on to earn his medical degree from the University of Alabama (UAB) in Birmingham. Dr. Sheppard completed his surgical training at the prestigious DeBakey Department of Surgery at the Baylor School of Medicine in Houston, where he was fortunate to be mentored by world-class surgeons at the renowned Ben Taub Trauma Center, as well as the famous MD Anderson Cancer Center.
During his education and training, Dr. Sheppard served as a teaching assistant both in the physics department at Georgia Tech and the anatomy department at UAB. While at Baylor, he was recognized with the Outstanding Chief Surgical Resident Award for his exemplary teaching and leadership. Today he continues as an associate professor for the Huntsville campus of the UAB Medical School.
Through his extensive training, Dr. Sheppard developed remarkable skills that allow him to handle the most complex surgical problems, as well as routine general surgical cases.
Dr. Sheppard welcomes new patients to his practice, Ray Sheppard, MD General Surgery.
