My baby had an appt. in person that we waited a long time for today and two hours before the appt it was switched to telehealth. She is 11 months and needs to be seen in person as it is a developmental visit. When I called in I was told very rudely after being accidentally hung up on that if I choose to have an in person appt it cannot be til March of 2025 now like them cancelling was my fault. We are talking about a baby here. This is so unprofessional and clearly just trying to keep the revenue coming in. I just do not und... read more

My daughter is 4 and autistic. At our follow up appointment with Dr. Sheppard last October, I brought up a concern that our wonderful OT had made notice of & I was completely dismissed outright. She spoke to me about my daughter as if she wasn't there, which I did not appreciate. Especially since my daughter is extremely articulate and communicates using spoken words very well. Overall I left feeling like it was a complete waste of an appointment as my concerns were dismissed & I didn't feel heard. My concerns were not valid... read more

My daughter is 4 years old and autistic and at our follow up appointment with Dr. Sheppard last October, I brought up a concern that our wonderful OT had made notice of and I was completely dismissed based on her just merely looking at my child. She spoke to me about my daughter as if she wasn't sitting directly in front of her which I did not appreciate, especially since my daughter is extremely articulate and communicates using spoken words very well. Overall I left feeling like it was a complete waste of an appointment as... read more

My background is in Special Education and Educational Psychology. I also have a child with delays. Dr. Shepherd doesn't know how to conduct any kind of diagnostic testing and is very quick to jump to pre-determined conclusions based off of her own bias beliefs. She was very quick to jump to Autism in adults without a complete medical history. She fails to understand that there are multiple conditions out there that mimic autism but is not autism. One example is TBI. She was trying to state that a relative of my child had aut... read more

We’ve seen A LOT of doctor for our child who has delays and special needs, trying to get some kind of answer as to why he’s going through what he is. We had fabulous developmental specialists in the past who made us feel heard and were very patient and kind and empathetic. This woman was not any of that. She was very harsh, blunt, and overall rude. Made the entire visit uncomfortable. She spoke about my son as if he wasn’t there and couldn’t understand anything. She said he wasn’t likely able to do multiple things despite be... read more

Do NOT schedule with this doctor. I took my 3yr old for a diagnosis with Dr Sheppard. Not only was she rude and unprofessional she spent more time diagnosing me (child's mother) with mental health disorders than observing or diagnosing my child which is her job. Her end of visit summary was written extremely inaccurately, it was the exact opposite of what we discussed and made her summary sound as though I am unfit to raise my child

I would NOT recommend Dr. Sheppard-Labrecque to anyone with a child with special needs. We were assigned to her after an 8 month waiting list period. At our first appointment, we left feeling hopeless for our adopted 13 year old who was only just then receiving an ASD diagnosis. We were promised further testing, which was never ordered. After 4 months, we had a follow up appointment where we were told there was no hope for our 13 year old. She was too old for any therapies...untrue!
