Verified Patient Reviews for Katherine Shephard, PT, DPT
Wonderful, very thorough provider with a fabulous bedside manner.
She is attentive to the whole person, and considers all the factors that may be contributing to the issue that initially brought me in. She is personable and approachable, listens well (and remembers/prepares for our meetings, and never comes across as in a hurry or "better than" (like many doctors do). She is the first care provider I have trusted since returning to MN a little over a year ago.
Dr. Shephard answered my questions and came up with practical and creative options.
She is detailed and thoughtful and very knowledgeable. I am thankful I found her.

She is approachable. Highly competent. Listens to concerns and works with me for solutions.
Easy to communicate with. Very helpful and knowledgeable.
Dr. Shepard is amazing. I can talk to her about the most private issues I’m having and she makes me feel super comfortable and seen.
The front staff was friendly and the provider spent ample time with me. She listened and actually heard me. She connected some disparate dots in my health history and adopted a holistic body view and a team care approach for next steps. She provided good information - and hope!

She is especially drawn to helping with the symptoms and realities of postpartum life. She believes no one should have to tolerate symptoms like urinary incontinence, constipation, prolapse, diastasis recti abdominis, painful intimacy, or pelvic aches and pains if they don’t want to.
With three littles at home, Katherine can relate to parents and modify her care to work with their busy lives. She enjoys cooking, watching musicals, traveling, and sleeping through the night.
