Shephard Health Chiropractic Clinic | Dr. Jay Shephard: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Dr. Jay and Dr. Sam for over a couple of weeks now and I have nothing but positive words to say about both of them! They’re great with what they do and have relieved me from my pain. They’re the best in YYC!!!
Autumn, thank you so much for your amazing review. You make our job easier because you show up and follow our recovery plan for you. We are extremely grateful to know you and we are honored to be of service to you. Stay Awesome!!!
Fantastic experience: Being an athlete, im no stranger to injuries. The process can be both physically and mentally draining, after injuring my knee I went to Shephard health for treatment and i have to say, Working with Dr. Jay and Dr. Sam made the recovery process smooth, supportive, and successful from start to finish. From the first appointment, the staff was welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. They took the time to thoroughly assess my knee, clearly explain what was going on, and create a personalized treatment plan that made me feel confident and informed every step of the way. The care and expertise I received were outstanding. Thanks to their guidance and hands-on treatment, my knee feels stronger than it was before. I’m back to moving comfortably and doing the activities I love without pain.
Micheal- thank you so much for your review. We not only try to meet our expectations but we always try to exceed them. Thank you for your kind words and trust in us. It was a pleasure to have served you!!!
Negative experience: I received shockwave therapy at Dr. Shephard’s clinic and was disappointed with how it was handled. The treatment was not performed by him, and supervision appeared minimal. The only direction given to the staff member administering the treatment was the voltage setting. There was no clear guidance regarding anatomical placement, tissue targeting, or structures to avoid. Prior to this treatment, I had only mild inflammation in my knee and no fluid accumulation. During the session, I experienced significant lateral knee pain, feeling as if my bone was being hit with a jackhammer. Following the shockwave session, I developed significant swelling and severe fluid accumulation, and was later diagnosed with severe synovitis. Since then, I have required five knee aspirations, multiple injections, and an MRI. The fluid has continued to accumulate despite these interventions, and I am now being told I will require a total knee replacement. This has been ongoing since July 2025. Clear communication about who is performing a treatment, how it is being supervised, and ensuring proper clinical oversight is essential. In my experience, that standard was not met.
Fantastic experience: Sheppard health has a team which genuinely cares about your road to recovery. The team goes above and beyond to make sure you are progressing well.
Thanks for your very kind words Darsh. We are grateful to know you. All of us here at Calgarys Shephard Health clinic will always go above and beyond to get you the best results you are looking for/ our patients are like family to us. Stay Awesome!!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Sam and the team are super welcoming and great at what they do. I have been receiving treatment for plantar fasciitis. From only 2 treatments I already feel like I’m walking better than I was in high school. Thanks for keeping me moving Dr. Sam and the Shephard Health team!
Hi Mik- thank you for the review and more importandly the trust that you have in us. We will always put our patients needs number one and do our best to get them the results they are looking for. We are grateful to have you as a patient and a friend. We are so happy that you are feeling much better. Stay Awesome!!!
Fantastic experience: Jay is awesome. He is incredibly knowledgeable and will work hard to tailor treatment that will actually help you. He is also very easy going and great to be around, his upbeat attitude helps me feel like I am in great hands. In addition to this he goes the extra mile for me often and it’s something that I appreciate. If you are looking for a new office or looking for a better office, I cannot recommend him and his staff enough.
Thank you for your amazing review Mathew. You make our job easier because you are such an awesome patient/ friend. We constantly strive to not only meet expectations but to exceed them. We are extremely grateful to serve you. Stay Awesome!!!

Jay
Fantastic experience: I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the care I've received over the last seven years. The staff's friendliness and dedication have made a significant difference in managing my chronic pain. I genuinely look forward to my weekly visits because of the wonderful support you all provide. Thank you for your continued help.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Shepard Health has helped me so much. Being in constant pain is mentally draining and effects your whole outlook on life as it effects everything, from waking up in the morning to going to bed at night, it is constantly on your mind and takes a toll. I now feel much happier, the pain is gone and I can now focus on life again. I cannot express how thank full I am to you all so much for putting a smile back on my face. Highly recommend, they will fix you and make you feel brand new again. Thank You!!!!

It is always a pleasure to serve you and help get you the best results you are looking for in order for you to get out of pain and putting that smile back on your face. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your health journey. Stay Awesome,

Fantastic experience: My mom had been going to this clinic for 1.5 months. They are wonderful, informative and care about helping heal the issues. Will definitely consider them for my personal chiro needs.
Hi Crystal- please thank your momma for us!! She is a great lady and patient. We are always available when you need us!
Regards,
Dr. Jay Shephard
Fantastic experience: My 1st time was an amazing experience helped me heal... Mr. Sam is great and made me feel comfortable and safe. I cried with joy because my pain was gone...
Thank you for a lovely review! We are pleased to hear how comfortable you are in our clinic and that your pain is gone! We look forward to seeing you next time!
Fantastic experience: This was my first visit to Shephard Health, and I’m so glad I chose Dr. Jayson Shephard. From the moment I walked in, the team was welcoming, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. Dr. Shephard took the time to really listen to my concerns, explain what was going on with my body, and walk me through what to expect during treatment. Even after just one visit, I felt a noticeable difference. He’s clearly experienced and genuinely cares about his patients’ well-being. I’m looking forward to continuing care here and highly recommend Dr. Shephard and his amazing team to anyone looking for chiropractic support!
Thank you for such a kind review Jason! We are very happy to hear you had a good experience in our clinic! We enjoyed meeting you and are thrilled to help get you feeling better:)
Fantastic experience: A quick shout out to my place of healing. I am getting older and my body seems to be leading the charge. From shoulder pain, typical for men, foot pain - my job makes me walk up to 25 km a day to the general affect on your body from your previous youthful bright ideas. This is not your typical chiropractic office in that they have leading edge technology from ART - active release - oh it hurts but it heals, to laser, to shock therapy. Completely safe btw. I have found the Dr. Just call me Jay listens to what is ailing me and fixes the problem. This is a legacy healing clinic as Shephard health has been around long enough for Dr. Jay to bring in his son Dr. just call me Sam. The clinic staff are all very efficient and caring. Katie and Julia at the front are always quick with a good morning when I come in. Izzy and Justine are friendly and knowledgable. Feel like Im leaving someone out... For the record, I previously was very skeptical due to experiences with other chiro experiences elsewhere. Now there is no apprehension or delay. If Im in pain I call Jay at Shephard Health. The clinic is in Kensington and I must say the building is always with gleaming floors in the lobby. Street parking a plenty underground and across the street. I use the street parking and for my appointment I usually spend about $1.75 for my appointment time. I hope you are living well Jay as you need to stick around until your 90 to take care us broken down 80s rock stars.
Thank you for the lovely review Brian! We are so glad to hear your satisfaction with your treatment! You are a rock star!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Sam is amazing! He truly listens and honors you for exactly where you’re at and what you’re coming in for, no judgment, just genuine care. His adjustments are precise, effective, and always delivered with presence and intention. You can tell he’s passionate about helping people heal and feel their best. I highly recommend Dr. Sam to anyone seeking chiropractic care.
Thank you for the wonderful review Danika! It is awesome to hear you got the treatment you were looking for with Dr. Sam! We look forward to seeing you in our clinic again!
Fantastic experience: Shephard Health is by far the best chiropractic clinic I’ve ever been to. From the moment you walk in, the entire team makes you feel welcomed and genuinely cared for. Every appointment feels effortless. What truly sets them apart is how much time they take to make sure you feel heard. They listen carefully to your concerns, explain everything thoroughly, and tailor the treatment to exactly what you need. Both Dr. Sam and Dr. Jay are incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, and they've helped me get back to feeling like myself more times than I can count. I always leave feeling better, and know I’m in such good hands.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review Makayla! We are thrilled to hear about your experience in our clinic and that you got the treatment you were looking for! Our team prioritizes our patients care, and creating a positive environment! We look forward to seeing you in our clinic again!
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough great things about Shephard Health! After pulling my Achilles, I spent a month in physio with little progress. But once I started treatment here, everything changed—within just two months, I was back on the track training! Dr. Jay Shephard was also able to identify and treat issues I had struggled with for years, and now I’m not just back to training—I’m better than before! The clinic has such a positive and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are incredibly kind, accommodating, and always greet you with a smile. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients’ health and well-being. Dr. Jay Shephard and the entire team are amazing at what they do. If you're looking for a clinic that prioritizes your recovery and makes you feel at home, this is the place to go!
Thank you for your awesome review. We are so glad we were able to help you. I am grateful for you and honored to have served you. Stay Awesome!!
Dr. Jay Shephard
Fantastic experience: Nothing is worse than being is constant pain and not at your best to navigating daily life! I first visited Dr. Jay Shepard with a nagging lower back ache and neck pain, his care plan for me was through and effective. Very quickly I was back living a pain free life with increased mobility. The team at Shephard Health has always been friendly, welcoming and efficient at dealing with my insurance provider. I will happily continue my maintenance and future chiropractic care with both Dr. Jay and Dr. Sam and beyond grateful for the care I received!
Thank you for the wonderful review Cyndi! We're pleased to hear you've had such a memorable experience at Shephard Health! We look forward to seeing you again!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Shephard's team are efficient and patient driven. They offer great treatment techniques and a variety of appointment times. They're accommodating and helpful when it comes to scheduling and they direct-bill your insurance. Dr. Shephard helped me with a minor ankle injury and I was back on my feet in no time! He also has effective chiropractic adjustment techniques. I highly recommend this location for soft tissue and sports injuries, so you can get back to your life/sport.

Our goal is to provide the best care and support to our clients, and it's great to know we succeeded with you. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to serving you again in the future!
Positive experience: Great staff, and awesome Dr. I would have love to give 5star known how great they made me feel. You lost a star do to not properly putting on the decompression machine (stretcher) but willing to still charge me, but not fix it. Over I’d recommend this place till all my friends and family!!
Fantastic experience: Extremely helpful and friendly staff! Dr. Jay is clearly very good at his craft and I have already seen a great improvement. Will be going back whenever I need work done.
Fantastic experience: It’s a best service in my life. Dr. Jay Shephard the doctor knows what to do. This clinic helped me a lot. Chiropractor #1 in Calgary. Thank you very much, I hope we don't see each other again, but if there are problems, I'll definitely come to you.
Thank you Nikita!! We're overjoyed that you got the care you were looking for. We appreciate your candor!
Fantastic experience: I hurt my shoulder playing hockey. Jay and his team worked very hard to help my recovery and achieved excellent results. They thoroughly analyzed my injury and used a number of techniques to enhance my recovery. Excellent expertise. Very organized, friendly, efficient service.
Thank you Peter for the kind words! We're thrilled we could help you get better!
Fantastic experience: Staff is friendly. Easy to make an appointment. Lots of availability. After Dr Jay did initial assessment he offered more than what I initially came for which I am grateful for. After 4 weeks of treatments going at least twice a week, I can report a huge improvement. I did shock wave therapy and lazer. If this is what you’re needing I can give a positive 2 thumbs up.
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Dr. Jay by a friend/co-worker. I could barely walk for a sudden injury and he fixed me right up! The team are so kind and nice and Dr. Jay is very experienced and well priced. Thank you!!
Thank you for the review Zara! We always enjoy hearing feedback! You rock!

Thank you Ani! We are happy you're feeling better!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Shephard and his team are professional, knowledgeable, capable and have the equipment necessary to help their patients deal with their issues. I have been a long time patient and have always had excellent results no matter the subject. From sport injuries to back pain they have always been able to help. It doesn’t hurt that the staff is also friendly and engaging.
Thank you Alejandro for the kind review! It's wonderful to hear about your experience with us! You are the best!
Fantastic experience: Coming into my second week of visiting Dr. Jay and the team. Everyone is lovely, kind, and just downright awesome! I feel very welcome and the general knowledge and interest in wellbeing is palpable. A high recommendation from me to anyone in search of local chiropractic help, but also for those looking for kind and listening ears. Keep staying fantastic :) Update: Over a year with Dr Jay and the team. I have just as many warm things to say as when I started visiting you all. Thanks again for just being awesome :)
Fantastic experience: At my first visit and assessment Dr Jay said he will get me fixed up and back at my active lifestyle. He fixed my rotator cuff tear and I'm back on my mountain bike. Everyone on the office is super friendly and professional. Tnx Dr J and the Sheppard TEAM !
Thanks Gianni for the wonderful review! We're so glad you're back on your mountain bike! You're awesome!
Fantastic experience: I had a very good experience getting some treatment for my shoulder… I liked that different modalities were used … It got me to a place of functionality where my own stretching and exercising had effect… Jay and the staff are very personable and insurance was billed directly, which is a pleasant convenience!!
Thank you for such sweet words Graham! We are pleased to hear about your experience at Shephard Health! You are the best!
Fantastic experience: Dr Shephard is warm, friendly and knowledgeable of his craft. My family and I have been frequenting his practice for close to a decade and can say he truly cares for his patients. He often sends messages or calls to check up on the progress of his patients. This is what sets him apart from other practitioners. The staff such as Katie are also the hallmark of Shephard Health. They are welcoming, polite and very friendly. I highly recommend Shephard Health for all your chiropractic, and massage needs.
Thank you for the wonderful review Casey! We are happy to hear that you are happy! We look forward to seeing you at your next visit! You are a rockstar!
Fantastic experience: I started going to Shepherd Health after putting off addressing a shoulder issue for far too long. Dr.Jay assessed the issue and started treatments right away. Not only is Dr. Jay incredibly knowledgeable and knew what to do to fix my issue, he is also a genuine, caring doctor who gets to know his patients. I’m now almost back to normal and grateful to have finally booked that appointment. I can’t leave a review without mentioning his front office staff, who are really friendly and helpful, and the great techs who have assisted in my healing along the way.
Thank you so much Gary for the awesome review! We are over the moon to hear how we've helped you in your health journey. You rock!!
Fantastic experience: Dr Jay Shephard is the best in Calgary for sure. I have gone to many times physio, chiro, Acupuncture and Osteo for my severe shoulder and upper back issue; but could feel better in the second treatment. he exactly knows what he is doing. You will get a faster relief and Dr. Jay is a very personable person.
Thank you for the lovely review! We are overjoyed to hear how our clinic has helped and impacted you! You rock!
Fantastic experience: I wanted to take a moment to share how grateful I am for Dr.Shephard. I have been having sessions for a couple of months now. I thank God for him and his whole team, they are a blessing in my life. I went in for a frozen shoulder, but I’ve received some relief with hip and neck pain as well, and the ultrasound Dr.Shephard ordered helped me to uncover that I have tendonitis in my elbow. Dr.Shepherd and his staff are very caring, competent and having a genuine desire to help people. From the first time I stepped foot through the door I felt welcome and at home, and a sense of belonging and acceptance. I really appreciate Dr.Shephard’s kindness and expertise. He assured me right away that I can ask him questions anytime. The issues I have are dealt with in the moment, addressed immediately, and whatever tests are needed, he gets them done asap. He is proficient, caring and capable. He is very compassionate, and after 9 months of suffering, I am finally feeling some progress in my shoulder. I am hopeful and optimistic that I can have a full recovery and am so very grateful for the help and treatment I receive. I highly recommend you see him if you’re experiencing challenges.
Thank you for taking time to leave a review!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I started going to see Dr. Shephard in early March for degenerative disc disease in our necks. He has been treating us with active release therapy, shock treatments, decompression and Lazer therapy. He's very personable, attentive and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Dr.Shephard for chiropractor treatments.
Thank you Shelley for the kind words! Your candor about your experience at Shephard Health is wonderful to hear! You're amazing!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Jay and team always provide friendly, personal and excellent professional service. I am usually able to get in right away.

Fantastic experience: All around a good experience Receptionists friendly and welcoming The clinic is always running on schedule. I have never had to wait a second past my appointment time. Assistants are friendly and knowledgeable Dr Shephard is good - set realistic expectations, treatments were effective and helped, all the pictures on wall added confidence to me believing i was in the right place, it is obvious that Dr Shepherd cares. Decent parking availability Treatment cost per visit is super reasonable. I know Dr Shepherd could charge more if he chose. He chooses not too ........ angels amongst us. Too sum it up i am simply grateful for his care and caring.
Thank you for the lovely review Jim! We are unbelievably grateful that your experience with us has been positive and impactful! It is our pleasure to help you with your health journey! You are the best!!

The ladies at reception are always busy, nbut never fail to say good morning! Yuen is always efficiently waiting to take me in for treatment! A great group!
Thank you for the lovely review Lisa! We are overjoyed that you've had such a wonderful experience at Shephard Health. You are fabulous!
Fantastic experience: Several members of my family have seen Dr Shephard over the past decade, to treat minor injuries as well as for post ACL surgery rehab. For six weeks after spraining an ankle, doctors and physios could not get me back on a basketball court. Dr Jay treated me and I was back to playing in days. We have always had a friendly reception, along with professional and compassionate care from everyone at the clinic. I have, and will continue to recommended Shephard Health to anyone who might need some help to recover.
Thank you for the review David. We are exceptionally grateful for your honesty and loyalty. You are the best!
Fantastic experience: I went to Dr Shepard because of an injury I suffered at work repositioning a resident. It was my right arm and shoulder. Dr Shepard and his team helped me get full mobility again. I'm a Healthcare Aide and it's important we look after ourselves. From getting my spine adjusted, and full mobility of my arm. I love the heat bags they use too. Also the machine they use to break up scar tissue is great too. I will be going back there too for some adjustments. If you're suffering due to an injury, go see Dr Shepard. The staff are amazing. You feel better after!☺️
Thank you for a wonderful review Colette! We're delighted that you're happy with your care! We look forward to seeing you soon!
Fantastic experience: Great experience here, the staff is all very friendly and Dr.Jay always sends me on my way feeling great with a smile on my face. I’d recommend it to anybody in need of chiropractic help.
Thank you Austin! We're thrilled that you've had a great experience with us! You are the best!
Fantastic experience: Found Shephard Health on Instagram. Replied very fast. I have been dealing with extreme leg and hip pain. Sleepless nights, very unhappy. I am on my 4th visit and I am feeling a lot better. Nothing heals over night, takes time. I like the fact I get good treatment and not rushed. I feel cared for. And it's a happy atmosphere. Great team of people. Thankyou
Thank you for the lovely review Gillian! We are so overjoyed to hear that your time with us has been helpful! You're amazing!
Fantastic experience: Katie amazing reception. Thanks for giving my 4 year old stickers. Thank you gor helping holding baby when we did our appointment. Dr Jay very quick and fast helped us feel better.
Thanks for the review Anna. We are glad we've been able to help you! You're the best!
Fantastic experience: I am a new patient to Dr. Shepard. His office is clean, efficient and very convenient. His service and attention to my needs as a patient have been excellent. I definitely recommend Jay and his team.
Thank you Wade! We're overjoyed to hear your time at Shephard Health has been a good one. You rock!
Fantastic experience: Dr Jayson & team are the best. I tried many services before coming to rely on this team to keep me in great help. The on line booking is easy & they always make time to treat you well.
Thank you Michael! We're glad to hear your positive experience with us! You're awesome!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Jay Shephard and ALL the staff at his clinic are 5+ star! Dr. Jay immediately diagnosed my knee issues and after the first treatment I felt immediate relief of pain and I’m now skiing and hiking without any issues. Thanks for your professional support and expert treatment!
Thank you for the review Jay! We are ecstatic that we've been able to help get you back to doing what you love. You're the best!
Fantastic experience: My husband is 77 and I am 75. We had both done significant damage to our shoulders and arms and lost a lot of range of motion in them. It was both painful and crippling for both of us. At times we were not able to dress ourselves without the others help. And very frustrating for me, I was not even able to grab the seat belt properly, plus many other things that we took for granted. Dr. Shephard has been a master at helping both my husband and myself in a very short time. We both have different issues so our progress is different. I saw instant relief on the first visit and with in a few visits I have almost full range of motion in my arms and shoulders again for which I am very grateful. Today my husband says he feels his range of motion is better now. We both have confidence that our life can be back to normal again. This is something we both value more now, because we didn't realize how good our shoulders and arms worked naturally with until we lost the use of them. When I saw Dr. Shephard's information on Facebook advertising Shockwave Therapy, I was curious. I have discovered that Dr Shepard has a unique system that gets to the problem quickly and you can see his mission is to help you get better. His staff are very friendly, so you always feel good when you arrive and when you leave. W & A Veinot Jan 16/2024
Thank you very much for the lovely review Anne and Wayne. We are over the moon to hear how both of you are progressing. Getting back those little things very much matters and we are glad to be apart of your journey! You guys are the best!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing!!! I would never see anyone else! Dr. Shepard is professional and knows what he is doing. I brought my husband in as he injured his back and he has scoliosis so we were both nervous. Doctor Shepard was gentle, patient and thorough and helped him feel better. He knew exactly what was wrong with him and knew how he needed to treat him with his scoliosis condition. My husband walked out of there with instant relief. He is the best chiropractor ever!
Thanks Maja for the lovely review. We're so thrilled to hear how your husband is doing!! We appreciate the time you took to share your experience with us! You both rock!
Fantastic experience: Very professional, and knowledgeable staff. Dr. Jay is an outstanding chiropractor who has helped me and members of my family, on numerous occasions, whether it be for a painful back, shoulder, neck or legs.

Thanks for the sweet review! We appreciate your opinion and are thrilled to help you throughout the years on your personal health journey!
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Dr Shephard absolutely desperate for help. I called the office one morning and Dr Shephard himself answered which surprised me. I explained my problems and he told me to come by the office that day when I had time and he would see me, no questions. I did, and I was seen and it was amazing. The clinic is great - the girls at the reception are beyond friendly and accommodating. I’ve suffered with my pain for over 2 months and after seeing Dr Shephard for a week and a half I have finally found some improvement and even stopped taking my pain killers. He’s very friendly, personable and professional. I Can’t recommend this clinic enough and I am grateful to have found him!
Thanks for an amazing review Kate. We appreciate your kind words on your time with us! We're delighted we have made such an impact in your life and that you are seeing the results you were looking for! You're awesome!
Fantastic experience: This is a great physio office. The staff are all friendly and very pleasant to deal with. I came in with issues relating to muscle pain in my leg that was sports related. It turned out it was a muscle tear and Dr. Shepherd worked with me to get it feeling good again and I was soon back playing sports. He’s the best!
Thanks for leaving an awesome review Brendan! We're ecstatic we've helped you get back to playing sports!
Fantastic experience: The reception/administrative staff are professional, cheerful, welcoming and accommodating, both over the phone and in person. The office is filled with pictures of elite athletes and 'thank you' messages written by them to Dr, Shepherd. Knowing they got the treatment they needed, filled me with confidence. Dr. Shepherd is knowledgeable, the equipment state of the art, and techniques adapted to best meet the needs of each individual. I am delighted to be a patient/client at Shephard Health.
Thank you Kate for leaving such a heartfelt review! We're so glad you feel welcomed here while getting the treatment you need!!
Fantastic experience: Great help for my torn shoulder, almost better than before! The staff are quick and friendly, seldom have to wait more than 5 minutes to be treated. Jay is great and understands the problems and how to deal with it so I can get back to my activities.
Thanks Guido. We're happy to hear how we've helped you with your shoulder! Glad your experience here has been positive!
Fantastic experience: Dr.Jay and his office are amazing. Really looking after the client and providing exceptional service. Booking in was always available and easy to do on line and through the phone. I would highly recommend Shepherd Health to anyone seeking a good and reliable chiropractor.
Thank you for the sweet words Taras. Glad to hear your time here is a positive one!
Fantastic experience: Dr Jay is a miracle worker. I haven’t felt this good in years. He gave me my life back. I can do so much more activities now. Thank you Dr Jay. You’re the best!
Thank you for the kind words! So glad we can help you feel like yourself again!
Fantastic experience: After visiting chiropractors in Vancouver, Victoria, PEI, and Halifax, Dr. Shephard was the only one who was able to fix my problem. Best chiro ever... most knowledgeable, kind, and caring. Very patient too. His staff are also great.
So glad that you are feeling better, Ellie. Thank you so much for your review.
Fantastic experience: The team at Shepard Health are so accommodating. I regularly get the top of day appointment at 07:00 so I can scoot to work in plenty of time. Dr. Jay has helped rebook me when I’m sick, he’s helped my niece last minute, and I refer other Film colleagues to him as he just gets what I do (and what it can do to my body). Katie is always kind and keen at the desk and the rest of the staff have the same, helpful, non-judgemental demeanour. It’s nice, too, to see all different types of folks in the waiting room. Shepard Health is part of my ongoing wellness maintenance plan.
Thank you for such a lovely review! We're beyond joyful that your experience here is so impactful on your wellness!
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and pricing. Dr. Jay understands that when you have been "out" for a long time, it's not a once and done process. The excellent pricing allows for much needed follow up treatments. Thanks Dr Jay for making it possible to go for long walks again with my family!
Thanks Robin! We're happy to hear your experience here has been good. Very glad you're able to go for long walks again!
Fantastic experience: When I first attended I could not even move my right hand behind my right hip, now I can place it between my shoulder-blades. I was suffering chronic and acute pain and unable to keep my arm extended even to hold the steering wheel while driving. The care given was excellent, the attitude of each and every person employed in this clinic is amazing. From Jay himself, to all his practitioners, to his front office staff the approach is positive, welcoming, professional and helpful. A huge thank you to Jay, Matt, Roberta, Katie, Mike and others there. If you need chirpractic therapy got here, you wont be disappointed. Richard P.
Thanks JR for taking the time to leave a review. We're so glad to hear your time here at Shephard Health has been so impactful!
Fantastic experience: Jay has helped me overcome numerous injuries over the years as well as resolved a couple that were lingering from years prior to me stepping foot in his clinic. The staff there are always very welcoming as well.
Thank you Kyle. We're happy to hear how we've helped you feeling better!
Fantastic experience: Been a patient with Dr. Jay for almost a year now. Came here with a bunch of issues with my back and neck. 10 out of 10 for sure! I've been feeling so much better! Also, the entire team here are very friendly and always go above and beyond! Can't thank them enough!
Thanks for the sweet words Aziz. We're thrilled that you've gotten the improvement you were looking for in our clinic!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service in a bright, friendly and easily assessible clinic. Lots of street side parking free of charge for early morning appts before 9am, small fee to pay during the day plus a few paid parking parking lots nearby. Bus stop within 1 block but also just a quick 8 minute walk from the c-train station. Insurance claims and credit card payments are hassle free. Prices are very reasonable. Doubt you can find the same experience and dedication to the profession anywhere else. You'll see others feel the same from all the accolades that line their walls. I highly recommended Shepard Health if you're feeling alittle rusty and just considering a massage or a few basic adjustments but don't hesitate to book an appt if you've injured yourself and need a little pro therapy to get your body back to action. They've changed my life when the family doctor said there was nothing I could do - so glad I can use my arm again. Keep up the great work guys! Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Jay takes good care of us! When I’m in pain, I see him and he’s able to sort me out. He is quick and I always feel so much better walking out than when I walked in. Booking is easy online, via email or a phone call. Direct billing is the cherry on top. Front desk staff is always lovely. Thank you, Dr. Jay and team!
Fantastic experience: Jay shepard's work is expliary in his treatment towards my better health. I have been with his service for over 10 years. Jay is always happy and positive. He is very knowledgeable in his field and is up to date with his treatments. He uses the gratson treatments on me. And soft tissue and back minupulations. I would not be walking today if it wasn't for the exemplary work Jay has done for me.. Bless you Jay Shepard and team. .Katey works the front administration and keeps the wheels rolling.bless you Katey and thank you very much for your continued support..
Fantastic experience: Dr Jay has been absolutely fantastic in resolving my back issues and later on my recovery from a fractured fibula. I’ve used him successfully in the past for a heal spur and plantar fasciitis. He knows his stuff and his staff are friendly and competent. I would recommend Jay to anyone!
Fantastic experience: The only downside to visiting Dr. Sheppard is that you'll need to figure out how to break up with your current Chiropractor! If you're someone who understands the true value behind effective Chiropractic adjustments, then you'll want to read below; I have used Chiro for over 25 years, the last 10 of which have been with the same Chiropractor, who I adore. That said, after spending some time at Sheppard Health ( my Physiotherapist works out of Sheppard ) it became clear very quickly that Dr. Sheppard was on an entirely different level, especially when it comes to athletes. To my surprise, the treatment was even more direct, effective, and tailored to my needs, in the moment, than I could have expected. To put it bluntly, Dr. Sheppard REARRANGED me, in a way I've NEEDED and have been looking for, since my accident two years ago. I don't think it would be a stretch to suggest his treatment was more effective than the totality of the previous 2 years of work with my other Chiro. The relief from the treatment has only been bested by the soreness from all of the movement he initiated on my hips/ back/hip flexors, a pain I'll take any day over the soreness, lack of mobility, and tight muscles present otherwise.
Fantastic experience: I am beyond grateful for the treatments Jay has done for me. The pain i was experiencing in my leg was unbearable, running is my passion ( more so my life) and after 2 weeks of treatment my leg is feeling 90 percent better i can feel myself running again in a week
Whitney, so glad that we could help! Keep on Running !
Fantastic experience: Jay gets results and is a very warm and fun professional to deal with. His office is full of good vibes and positivity always. I always walk out feeling better!
Glad to help, Rhonda. We'll be here when you need us.
Fantastic experience: I came to see Dr Shephard with sciatic pain after having 10 treatments at another chiropractic clinic and seeing no results. I saw improvement within the first treatment with Dr Shephard. His experience, knowledge and treatments have helped a lot. He's absolutely amazing!
We appreciate your custom, Jeannette and am so glad to have made such s positive difference to your health and life.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Dr.Shephard has truly been life-changing. He has an incredibly knowledgeable and kind team. He goes above and beyond to provide the best care possible. I am grateful to have crossed paths with him!
Fantastic experience: I was very nervous to go to a chiropractor for the first time, but doctor jay made me feel so comfortable like like I’ve known him for years! He is caring , knowledgeable and personable and has made all my chiropractic needs way better and I can enjoy life without pain His team of staff are also very amazing and personable they also make the experience amazing too 10/10 recommend !
Fantastic experience: I have been under the care of Dr. Jay and his fabulous staff for two weeks, having been diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy, and given no good prognosis from specialists. His treatment, care and compassion, have been exceptional! I now have feeling and movement returning to my face!! I am so grateful to him and his team for this excellent care and I recommend his practice to everyone who needs help and hope! He’s amazing! Don’t despair- he can- and will help!
..and you just keep on getting better. So humbled for the review, Janice - onward and upward!
Fantastic experience: I used to go to a different therapist for 6 months and no improvements. Came here for the same Low Back Pain problem and after three treatments, daily pain is now gone. Treatment here is very effective. The staff are very kind, friendly, and gentle. They are very flexible to book you an appointment matching your schedule. The doctor himself? An amazing guy, he’s compassionate, empathic, very easy to talk to. He’s skilled and educated as he has been doing his profession for 30+ years
Fantastic experience: I’ve been having on/off back and shoulder pain for awhile now. A few weeks ago my back flared up to the point where I was unable to walk or even sleep. With nothing else helping I decided to try some chiropractic work. After one appointment with Dr. Jay my pain was reduced substantially and I could finally get a good night sleep. The front desk staff at the clinic were super friendly and very helpful as it was my first time at the clinic. Would 100% recommend Shepard Health to anyone looking to try out chiropractic care or looking for some relief!!!
Fantastic experience: Had my first ever chiro adjustment this week with Dr. Shephard. The staff were clearly there for the customers to make sure the experience was great. I appreciated Dr. Shephard’s willingness to take time to get to know me. Overall, great experience!
Fantastic experience: One of the best clinics in the city, hands down. Jay and his staff are some of the kindest, most attentive and accommodating people out there. Dr. Shephard is one of the friendliest business owners I know and its so apparent he truly loves what he does and the people he gets to help. His clinic is run like a well-oiled machine, and it’s clear that every person - whether staff or patient - is there because they genuinely want to be. I couldn’t be happier with my choice in chiropractic care.
Thanks for the great review, Angelina. See you again, soon. Stay well.
Fantastic experience: My daughter and I have been going to Shepard's Health for a few years now. I am so happy with and grateful for the experience and service that we always receive. Dr Jay is an absolutely incredible chiropractor and I recommend him to my friends and family often. Katie, Karis, Julia and all of the other supportive staff are also very welcoming and professional. As a lifelong athlete it is comforting to have the peace of mind of a great team supporting me throughout all of the phases and stages of my training and performance. Thank you for everything Shepard's!!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Shephard and his team have changed my life! By using their Acuscope & Myopulse Therapy and ART, I feel like a new person and most importantly I look forward to working without pain and inflammation. Dr. Shephard & his team feel like family and always look forward to their positive energy & smiles.
Fantastic experience: INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE! One session and I'll be a client of Dr.Shepherds for life. I was searching for a YYC based clinic with a cold laser machine. Googled and Dr. Shepherd's clinic came up and was close to where I was staying (grew up in YYC, now in BC). I was amazed when Dr Shepherd emailed me personally from his iPhone and answered my questions. He saw us on a Stat holiday so he welcomed us at the building door and took us up. With his staff off, we were the only ones there until his next appointment. His bedside manner was awesome. He is truly a chill, kind, EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGABLE human being with a passionate for helping people heal. He is open, interested in your life and healing journey and has an excellent clinic. He wrote the book on some of his healing modalities and has invested in lots of technology to support his nature aptitude for healing. I love quantum technologies like rife machines and cold laser. He was generous and hooked me up to all of them which really broke up some scar tissue issues in my forearms. He gave me hope for returning one day to an activity my health challenges prevent me from doing fully. He is qualified: the entire office and every room is covered with signed athletes, Olympians, NHL players, pro dancers, wrestlers and bands who he has helped. He even toured with KISS during their first reunion tour to keep the band, roadies and management in alignment. Good stories. I also appreciated him sharing about his life and experiences which built trust. He and I imagine his team are 10/10. I'll always be going back for support when im in yyc and he is the kind of human you'd go visit just to say hi once you are fully healthy. Best of the best. Thanks Dr. Shepherd for the treatment and support - Spence M Kootenays
Fantastic experience: HIGHLY recommend! Dr Shepherd went out of his way to accommodate seeing me and my husband while we were visiting from out of town. He went above and beyond during our time at the clinic and gave us not only an effective treatment but clarity on how to heal longer term. Thanks again Dr Shepherd, we will be back!
Fantastic experience: Jay’s been my chiro for 10+years. He’s the best there is. No matter how badly I’m twisted up he works with me to sort it out and get me feeling well. I couldn’t recommend him more. Trust is an important part of working with a chiro, and you can trust this guy. I even had him adjust my newborn baby who was suffering from colic. After the first visit she had the hardest sleep of her life!
Fantastic experience: Dr Shepard takes the time to evaluate injuries and needs and, if necessary, recommends protocols to ensure his treatment plans are on point and safe (eg if necessary, he will recommend imaging before attempting treatment). He uses a number of modalities to compliment his chiropractic treatments. It is clear he really cares about achieving a positive outcome.
Fantastic experience: Hands down Jay and team provide the best chiropractic/physio care and experience I have encountered. Always flexible and mindful of the needs of the patient. As well as a thoughtful even entertaining approach where you get the feeling that you and everyone else in there truly matter. Thanks for everything peeps!!
Fantastic experience: Had an emergency issue that came up where a cough caused a hospital visit due to excruciating pain on my upper right ribs. Could barely move, breathing was also short and after a 10 hour hospital visit the recommendation from the doctor was to see a chiropractor with rib speciality that can do re-alignment. I searched on google, and found one Chiropractor that checked all the boxes. The website was easy to use, I submitted the form (with detail of my situation) and within minutes dr Shephard phoned me and booked me in immediately to get checked out straight from hospital. Dr Shephard could tell I was in immense pain (my one hand holding my rib), and re-assured me that this will get better and relief is coming. The first session consisted of ART and Low level Laser Therapy. I could already tell that things where loosening up in the area causing pain. The next morning I had much more mobility and less pain. Have since had two additional sessions and already my mobility is almost 100%, I still have pain with coughing, sneezing or laughing (as he put it no visiting comedy clubs haha) and even that is getting better after each session. I highly recommend Dr Shephard, not only is his personality, professionalism and character exceptional, he and his team are amazing and miracle workers :p. Also have to give a shout out to receptionist as they are very pleasant when greeting, booking appointments etc. I am on a path to recovery and thankful for them helping me get over this difficult experience with health.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Jay knows his stuff very well. He was the only health professional who could fix my shin injury. He always goes out of his way to make sure I (and all the other patients I saw) got the most effective and personalized treatment possible. I could also tell that he was genuinely interested in getting to know me personally; in just a few treatments, it felt like we were old pals. For anything related to health, wellness, or performance, Dr. Jay is your guy.
Fantastic experience: Been seeing Jay regularly for over a year now and he has helped me tremendously. Had a couple of bulged discs and not being able to stand up straight, he has got me moving again in no time. Everyone in the office is professional and welcoming and they all go above and beyond to accommodate. Couldn't recommend Jay and his team highly enough
Negative experience: If you value your health, don't go here. Read the reviews, he is a terrible doctor who still hasn't learned to be humble enough to listen when he is doing something wrong. I honestly don't know how he hasn't been sued for malpractice. I don't know why he's even allowed to practice. Months of visits for a shoulder/back injury and all he did was take my money and crack my neck and lower back. I was in intense amounts of pain for a long time until I saw someone who cared enough to do their job properly. I wish there was a zero star option tbh. Honestly just don't bother with him.
Fantastic experience: Went in as an emergency when I hurt my back and as a busy mom I couldn't function. They were so unbelievably kind and accommodating. I felt immediate relief with the treatment and will be back to get myself back on track with my busy life. Dr Jay was so thoughtful and considerate even though I had to bring my young daughter with me. I couldn't have asked for anything more!
Fantastic experience: Had a session with Dr Shepard today and he was fantastic. Spend the time to understand the problem and provided a clear explanation on the work that needed to be completed as well as illustrated what the source of the issue was. He is very personable and was very pleasant to talk to. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: While traveling to Calgary I experienced severe back pain. Dr. Shepherd was recommend by a close friend and even though I didn’t have an appointment he was able to take from his busy schedule to see me. I was very nervous as I had never been to a chiropractor before. Dr. Shepherd walked me through his diagnoses and recommended treatment; he answered all my questions and concerns and put my mind at ease before treating me. If I were a local resident of Calgary I would go back to Dr. Shepherd’s clinic on a regular basis - highly recommend Jay for treatment!!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Jay and his the entire team at Shephard Health are always accommodating and professional. Jay is a true professional that cares about his patients. I have been attending Shephard Health for many years and would highly recommend Jay and his team.
Fantastic experience: From the front desk ladies to Dr Jay, Shephard health is amazing. Very personable, extremely knowledgeable. Care was first rate. Felt like a new person when I walked out. Dr. Jay asked a lot of questions to see what was going on and explained everything he was going to do and why. My daughter now sees Dr Jay, I think that explains how great he is. Bed side manners are important. Go check Dr Jay out! Cheers
Fantastic experience: I have suffered with life long debilitating low back pain. I have tried everybody but no success. All this changed when I was referred to Dr. Jay at Shephard Health. The new and innovative treatments that they do, that no one else seems to do, changed everything for me. I have no more pain. They are so accommodating with my crazy travel schedule. The staff are always so kind and helpful to me. I have been seeing Dr. Jay on and off for years. It is fun to see Dr. Jay and his staff. I highly recommend Shephard Health- they are like family!!!
