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.

Great experience. Helped me understand all the alternatives and where we should go from there.
I highly recommend Dr. Sheppard for hernia assessment and repair. My experience with Dr. Sheppard was outstanding. His professionalism and demonstrated ability to relate was among the best I have experienced. He took time to show me and explain my abdominal CAT scan.

Very knowledgeable and kind
Was very thorough. Was confident in Dr Shepherd.
There’s a reason he was recommended by AI based on reviews and feedback. He has excellent bedside manners and is genuine
Super professional experience. Covered everything necessary for me to know about my upcoming procedure.
Very informative, answered all questions and he has a sense of humor which put me at ease.
My initial consultation went very well. I had several questions regarding the surgery. Dr Sheppard answered all my questions which helped me understand the procedure and recovery time frame concerns I wanted clarity on. He was very professional, personable and spoke with an assurance that made me feel a lot more relaxed about the upcoming surgery. The office staff was very polite and professional all the way through. Great experience.
No wait time. Very professional.
Dr. Shepard has a pleasant and friendly personality. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions with patience and reassurance. The office could use a little refresh but don’t let that worry you, you’ll be met with a kind face when he greats you.
Professional diagnosis and scheduling for surgery.
Excellent
Absolutely amazing. No doubt the Lord led me to Dr. Sheppard. I could not have had better care for my surgical need. He encouraged me throughout the process. See Dr. Sheppard and you will not regret it.
There was no definite derision at the time Dr.Shepherd wanted to follow up on some previous surgery I had so we are waiting for info I appreciate his concerns hopefully all will go well
Very personable and excellent knowledge and advice. Performed 2 Hernia surgeries on me with excellent results.
All the information concerning my surgery was explained thoroughly.
Dr. Sheppard and staff made my initial appointment very easy. He took the time to explain the procedure I needed and answered all the questions that I asked. 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!
My experience at my first appmt with Dr. Sheppard was good in every way.
Dr. Sheppard performed Hernia Operation, after operation feeling good after 2 days.
Throughout the entire process I received exemplary care. Dr. Sheppard was thorough and thoughtful. The support staff were excellent as well.
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. Gloria P.Batts
Couldn’t be better
Dr. Shepherd gave thorough and accurate explanations of the procedure, the healing process and possible side effects. Should the need arise I will definitely go to him in the future.
Excellent visit with Dr Sheppard, he made sure I was comfortable with the way my hernia surgery was going to be done and answered all of my questions.
Very professional and caring , he was honest and his bedside manner was great. I appreciate that he took his time . Highly recommend.
