Reviews of Shepherd Center

Mindy Anderson

My husband was a patient at Shepherd Center in July 2021 after his May 2021 TBI - had initially been projected to be permanently and significantly disabled, and were supposed to be there 6-10 weeks, but results began within a day of the rigorous structured rehab and by the end of the 3rd week, we were able to go home and one more month later after continuing progress with OP rehab, he was cleared to go back to work and completely released a few months later. Shepherd Center is truly amazing - they took amazing care not just of my husband but of me as well - they recognize the role and impact of the primary caregiver and administered care to me as much as to my husband and they continue to be part of our lives today. I will forever be thankful for them.

I have had 3 spine surgeries and was in an accident almost 2 years ago that has caused my spine to be in bad shape with many challenges. I was referred to Dr. Erik Shaw at Shepherd, words cannot express how grateful I am that I found him, Holly his PA and their staff are truly amazing. Everything is always on time I never wait in the waiting room and they genially treat you with such care and compassion. I have a long road ahead of me but with a team like this I am confident they will get me there. For those that deal with Nerve Pain Injuries you know what I am saying here! Thank you to all of you for all your care this far! :)

Brian Zimmerman

If you have a spinal cord injury this is the place to go. They have top notch doctors and therapists. The inpatient facility has highly qualified nurses and medical care 24x7. Equipment is in excellent shape. Family housing is a very nice apartment and comfortable. They have done wonders for my Son and I will be forever grateful for there help.

All of the staff at this place was super nice. Made me feel like I was on the cast of the good place. Asking if I had died and was supposed to be there. Clean helpful and the food was awesome. Biscuit and sausage gravy was my favorite. Thanks guys you all are great. Everyone says hello or good morning or day. You feel very welcome. And they have case managers and other people to help with whatever your going thru. The smoking area does close at night so if you can't sleep a night you might go crazy wanting a smoke.

John Bussard

Was here from December 2018 thru March 2019. This place is very helpful in your recovery. Enjoyed all the Therapist and Nurses.

Amber Roth

I was on my death bed after a major car crash. I was airlifted to NE Georgia Trauma Center. I was then transferred to Grady. The Doctors and nurses didn't know what to do with me because I was a difficult patient. Somehow God knew I would've died at Grady and a kind lady found me and referred me to The Shepard Center. I suffered from a Traumatic Brain Injury and was admitted to the Brain injury unit. Dr dennison, emily, liz, sNEHA. Abby, and Lindsey saved my life. They taught me how to walk, eat, cloth myself, bath and taught my mother how to take care of me. I am forever in debt to The Shepard Center because they saved my life. I was in the Brain Injury unit for 2 months and it was the most organized facility I have ever seen. They were kind to me, generous, knowledgeable, and very empathetic people. The absolute best rehab I have ever heard of and I would recommend this place to anyone that I know. I love all the staff workers there. I also forgot to mention YOLO. YOLO one of my nurse technicians was very fond of me and treated me like family. Just a very beautiful place, workers were wonderful, facility is clean and the doctors and nurses are very educated and professional.

Michael Free (3skamo)

Absolutely amazing and friendly staff. Always caring and kind. Wouldn't want anyone was else helping with my MS.

Kent Koger

Today marks the one year anniversary of my stroke. If not for the amazing care at the Sheppard Center, I could be a bedridden, paralyzed patient in one of our local nursing homes. My true, heartfelt thanks to the doctors and all the providers at the Shepherd Center! I am eternally grateful for the Doctor that decided to do one more surgery, the Physical Therapists that ignored my pleas to skip the workouts and of course, the nurses that did so much every day without a hint of complaining! Thank you all for returning me to my wife and my life. May God bless each and every one of you!!

Jackson Howell

I was a patient in the Shepherd Spinal Center from December of 2020 to March of 2021 and then received further outpatient therapy at Shepherd Pathways until May of 2021. During the time after my injury, I had some of the best care I have ever had in a hospital or rehab facility from Shepherd Center. I don't think my current outlook on life would be nearly as hopeful if it weren't for all the love, support, and care from all the staff—doctors, nurses, nurse techs, therapists, and even custodians—at Shepherd Center.

W.A. Rainer

Was in a big truck wreck. Sustained a T.B.I.. likely would not be able to do half the things I can do thanks to them. Not just the Doctors but everyone. Therapists, nurses, all the techs and all who support were absolutely the most helpful, friendly and patient people I have had to deal with in the medical field. Cannot say enough good about this organization. Love what they do. Pathways is included!!!!!!

Janet Degner

Here is a picture of my sweet sister who has continued to benefit from The Shepherds Center after a car accident which resulted in a TBI. I can’t say enough about how much I appreciate Shepherd Center. She is a happy, functioning member of society.

Katrina Bush

My fiancé recently was diagnosed with multiple Sclerosis in February 2021. They are amazing here, every person you pass in the hall asks how you’re doing smiles and is genuine. They made us feel really comfortable there and trusting! Thank y’all so much for helping with his life!

Flo Roth

My daughter was admitted with a traumatic brain injury. She spent 5 weeks at the facility. She received amazing care from her Doctors, Nurses, Therapists, and Nurse Techs. They were patient with her and adjusted her meds as needed. After 2 weeks in the facility I got my daughter back. The healing of the brain and the care from the facility helped her to heal.We are truly blessed that someone from Grady referred her .

Lashawn Watson

I have a brother who has been a patient at this facility a few times and he has always made such tremendous progress while being at Shepherd. I love the staff there and they are so caring and very knowledgeable about what goes on and are always able to answer any questions that we may have. They are extremely nice and we never ever worry about my brother during his stay at the Shepherd Center. We always know that he will be in great hands!

Hiro Fukai

Everyone on my father’s therapy team are strong, selfless, miracle workers. He didn’t want to leave and misses all of them, but they are the reason that he was able to leave the amazing facilities at Shepherd, and with great confidence and inspiration... our family has been inspired by this team and the Shepherd center as a whole.

DAVE

I was in a horrific motorcycle accident October 8, 2011. I was not expected to live much less be anything more than a wheelchair bound man the rest of my life. I was blessed to be a patient at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Ga. It’s a brain and spinal cord rehabilitation center. It’s an amazing place. I call it Gods workshop because I’m a miracle.

Cassie Mckenzie

My husband suffered a TBI earlier this year and was transferred to the Shepherd Center from the ICU/hospital. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this place from the cafeteria employees to the nurses, doctors, and therapists that we came into contact with during our stay. The care my husband was given was top notch, and the care and consideration that I was given helped me more than I could ever say. It was very obvious if you want a job there, you can't just have the teaching or experience, you also have to have a caring heart, because just about every single person went above and beyond. I am very thankful for this facility and its staff.

Noneed Tosay

Great facility for rehabilitation. I had a spinal cord injury at 35 and they helped me understand sci and my injury. How to take care of myself and get my life back with some sense of normalcy. This facility and employees are truly amazing and I can’t appreciate them enough!

My father was in Shepherd last summer(2017). He was in a car accident that rendered him unable to walk or use his arms. He was beginning to have movement in all four limbs! He had a surgery and was in the best of hands We could go home every evening KNOWING that he was cared for in a compassionate, caring and professional manner Unfortunately the next “ Recovery rehab” ( nursing home) PROVIDENCE "Healthcare" of Thomaston Ga , didn't care.. The care was so substandard that he was in hospice 2 weeks later, where he passed..."rehab translates to " NURSING HOME "!! I will always be extremely grateful to Shepherd for the wonderful care of my father . Thank you 3rd floor staff. We are forever grateful. Thank you Shepherd! Much love , Dee Dinsmore Spivey

Kimberly Radford

I have followed a family member of mine as she got there a week ago, its amazing the progress she has made. I also know two other people that have had SCI that went to rehab here and their recovery was amazing. Nothing but good things to say about this rehab!!

Jones Beene

This may be the best hospital for spinal column injury in the country. They really know how to not only take care of patients but also rehab them. If you want to walk again after an injury this is the spot for you - they will push you. Love the staff that's been caring for my mom and can't say enough good stuff about this place.

Lisa Atkins

My husband was in the hospital here with a central spinal cord injury. This hospital and employees are absolutely amazing! We were very blessed to have Dr. Elmers and she is the best. Great personality and amazing doctor. I just can't express how blessed we were to have went to Shepherd's Center. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Class 1 Fuster Cluck

What an incredible place. My son has been there a few weeks and the progress he's making is staggering. Like any large hospital, a few minor things get overlooked occasionally, but overall you can just tell when an organization has got it down, and this place has it down. If you wealthy types are looking for a worthwhile place to donate, the Shepherd Center is a good choice. Or if you just want to donate a few bucks, it all helps.

Brandy Dawn Wilson

The Shepherd Center is absolutly amazing. My nephew was hit by a train and has been recovering very quickly in this facility. The staff is amazing and informative, they have answers for any question and really seem to care for your loved one. I have never been in such a great hospital enviroment.

AJ Stavely

I had a SCI in 2003 & was an in-house patient for 8-10wks(Over 2 months!) I do not have the skill or talent to properly express in words not only the excellence in care I received but the care I witnessed so many others & OUR FAMILIES received at the Shepherd Center Spinal Cord & Brain Injury Rehabilitation Hospital! ...Its impossible to explain the RAW FEAR & CRUSHING ANXIETY one feels to anyone who has never gone through the horrible nightmare of a SCI...With one huge exception, the staff at the Shepherd Center! You want to close your eyes & give up but they won't let that happen! The compassion & true dedication to their profession shown by the techs, nurses, rehab specialist, doctor's & literally everyone else that works there from case workers to security is so HEART WARMING!!! ...Since my discharge as an in-house patient in 2003 I've been a regular patient at the Shepherd Center's Multi-Specialty, Urology & the Pain Institute. I cringe at the thought of what shape I would be in w/o everyone doing what they do at the Shepherd Center!! ...About the 1-2 STAR REVIEWS...When a family member is a patient at the Shepherd Center then their loved one is going through the worst nightmare of their life & the family is forced to witness it! There isn't a more helpless feeling one could experience I know my wife had TBI prior to my SCI. Some can handle these horrible times better than others while others need someone or something to place blame, be mad at, etc., as a way to cope. Might not explain each of the few 1-2 Star ratings but Im sure it explains many! ...Or Shepherd Center would not be ranked as one of the Top 10 hospitals in the nation for the last 20yrs.

Sean Gambrell

I was involved in a bad accident in 2011 and was fortunate enough to get accepted to this wonderful place! I would still be in a wheelchair if it wasn't for 99% of the staff at the Shepherd Center. I would've given them 5 stars if it wasn't for a pain management doctor named Erik Shaw.

Conor McCormick

Amazing place. Great staff, great doctor's, great environment.

Encourage BeResilient

Absolutely spot on diagnosis, follow through, professionalism, and definitely invested in us as patients from the moment they meet us until the moment we are released from their care. Strong physically independent people whose temples no longer respond the way they want can be quite difficult to endure during a tough time of transition and acceptance. I applaud all that I met during my Tough and Traumatic journey. Thank Goodness for Second chances to Live, Love, Adapt, Surmount Challenges, and to Ascend; AGAIN. Never Give Up on Yourself; the Shepherd Center team will be with you until the end. Peace Courage & Self-Love.

Susy Shelton

We have been so very pleased with the staff, doctors & care given by Shepherd Center. Everyone is so friendly, remember us & our situation each time we visit. Our family certainly would recommend them to anyone. A+

Kristen Bazella Brown

I have been a patient for almost 3 years now and I love everything I absolutely love it. I started out as inpatient then went on to outpatient. I highly recommend this place. I was strongly considering moving back to Los Angeles but am now going to stay here in Atlanta because Shepherd is here.

Wayne Chaney

5 stars because I cant give TEN. These people are amazing. They truly gave us our life back after a spinal cord injury that almost took it. I am still in touch with several of our nurses to this day.......... almost 3 years after our graduation back home. Pray you never need them, THANK GOD daily they are there if you do!!

Josh Eisenhower

We live in South Georgia and come 3 or 4 times a year and we absolutely love the place! The staff is so friendly and helpful and the Doctors are some of the best in the world! We're so thankful for the Shepard Center!

Michaela Guthrie

I am a current patient in the MS department and will not be leaving due to needing a MS specialist. The doctors are fine but the nurses' line is not the best. #1 they do not seem very knowledgeable or friendly and #2 it is only available 9am - 3pm. If I have a question or emergency due to my disease, I should be able to reach a nurse much easier than this. This isn't even a typical work day. Upsetting to me that I cannot get quality care unless my illness strikes 9am - 3pm (not even normal business hours). Shepherd, you should work to fix this.

Tonya Nesbitt

The best therapy place in the world . For injured patient.

Agnes Kim

Man, do I want to sit down with and talk about how Shepherd didn’t meet each one-star-reviewer’s expectations or what!!!!!!! I am so fired up to prove each one-star-reviewer wrong!! This hospital is MAGICAL!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 I am a recovering TBI patient, and I’ve been a Shepherd patient for like nearly 4 years now, and I’m always so so thankful for their consistent, committed, and bountiful service!!! 🥰🥰🥰 This hospital DEFINITELY deserves 5 stars (if not more if it was possible lol)!!!!

Stacia Childress

We love this place while going to the shepherd center at MS center to get infusions every month but now we are going somewhere closer to home. Thank you for being there for Brian Childress. Love to all the MS department staff.

Susan McGinnis

Excellent Doctors Great customer care Up to the minute on new developments

Kay Middlebrooks

I have Multiple Sclerosis and Crohn's Disease. I'm so lucky to have been able to get in to Shepherd MS Clinic. After an hour long meeting with my Doctor there, he prescribed a MS Maintenance Med Tysabri Infusions has stopped my Flares with BOTH Diseases! I can't say how nice it is to go in and feel like you're welcome and with family. There is a family room where the kids can go play games etc as well. And it's not just for MS Patients. They are top's in the World for Head Trauma Patients including our USA Military Veterans with PTSD

Steph Lynn

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Dr. Ben Thrower is an absolute godsend! The best. As is every one in his office. These people are truly angels in earth. There are not enough wonderful words to truly express the gratitude and respect we have for Dr. Thrower & his team.

Janet M

After my 27 year old daughters diving accident left her quadriplegic thou she had an incomplete spinal cord injury .i was so blown away by every thing they covered not only for her recovery but also for me its a devastating time. Its not the end but a new beginning. tThis is what they teach. Twice we have been there. Two years ago we went to Panama for stem cell treatment at the Stem Cell Institute and she is beginning to walk Shepard gave us so much hope

M Chappell

Shepard Center was imperative to the progress I have made in my recovery.

Charles Warren

brenda johnson

Hi, i am brenda johnson, my newphew, steven bailey was in a horrific accident on Aug 18th 2015 . my sister Judy Bailey has been by his side non stop. She is Steven's mother. when Steven started out he was in Florence, S.C., the DRS. said Steven would never make it through the weekend, well he did, THank you, GOD. weeks went by,Steven's eye's were fixed like that was it, but his body didn't listen, it was still showing sign of life. well. they then sent him to Charleston, S.C.. Where he stayed for a month or more. He was sent there for therapy,Well that hospital did not do therapy what, that was our question. what was he there for ? Well the DRS there didn't have any hope for Steven either. Someone call Sheperd Center,well they came in and wanted Steven to go there for his therapy. i don't think the DRS expected much from Steven either but, with in a week Steven was on a bike,eating small amounts of solid foods and now he can talk to you on the phone lol thank GOD ! .Mind you, Steven has a long way to go yet but, HE IS ALIVE . This is why My Sister needs our help, so She can continue to stay with her,son, STEVEN BAILEY HE LIVES BECAUSE GOD WAS READY FOR HIM YET. Please, feel free to follow steven from now on .

Katie Mclaughlin

No matter how I feel. Everyone there makes me smile and happy! Amazing Doctors, Nurses, and just all around people in general at the Shepherd Center!

Katie Gunter

Love my doctor. The nurses are wonderful. The call center never stops being a problem. I have never had an experience with the call center that isn’t incredibly frustrating.

Chester Drake (Chip)

My limited experience so far was not only high quality from a care perspective, but also extremely encouraging and collaborative.

Steven Honeycutt

Suffered a severe TBI. Was minimally conscious when they first got me there. Walked out on my own two feet 3 months later. Great doctors and therapists.

Larissa Elsley

The absolute best! I can only say positive accolades about the quality of everything about this facility, emphasizing the thorough level of care that is always provided. It's a level above all else!

Marcus Boyd

It is a great place I was there about 2 months in 2018 I had a stroke I was 33

Mike Thor

C2 quad, I'm hesitant to talk about my progress b/c one cannot and should not compare their progress with that of ANYONE else, but it needs to be said that they will push and encourage you to work as hard as you can to make the best out of the worst thing that will hopefully ever happen to you.

Kevin McMillion

My 15 year old daughter was there and amazing staff they do great work.
