Shepherd Center's Online Review Report Card

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.

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

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!!

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!

Former employee from last year. I have good and bad things to say about the shepherd center. I did not feel welcomed as a new employee they say its a good place to work which is correct but its the ppl that work there. As from what I was told and as I saw myself they the put family first , patient second and staff last. Tiffany the nurse manager for abi me her attitude and behavior is not meant for leadership. The environment was very political and no one was willing to help the techs out. No communication between therapy and nursing staff. I was happy to experience what I had a chance too but overall the staff there was not welcoming .

I love this place. I've been a patient here is 2008. I love Dr. Loring. She has been my dr since day one. I have zero complaints about her. I still miss Mary(she was one of the best nurses there) All of the nurses that I've came in contact with have been friendly and compassionate. I've only had one issue since I've been a patient here. So I can't really complain.

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

I wouldn't recommend Shepherd Center to anyone especially someone with TBI, I got slammed down on a bed 3 times they pulled me by my legs arms, they also made me seize took me off my anti-seizure medicine with a fresh TBI. I have tried to report this several times & you can't report anything here.

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 .

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.
