About Me

I practice general pediatrics, which includes well child visits, sick care and management of chronic illnesses. My special interests include supporting breastfeeding and the care of children and families affected by addiction. In addition to my clinical work, I work on multiple research and quality improvement projects through the Vermont Child Health Improvement Program.

I enjoy developing relationships with all the children and families I see based on mutual respect and trust.

  • Dr. Shepard is fantastic. I love her matter of fact approach and really feel that she cares about the health and well-being of my boys. She is great!

  • Dr. Shepard is the only doctor who has always given 110% to my case. She does work at home and tons of extra research to help me the best she can, and will work as hard as she can to get me seen by specialists who need to see me. I am so sad to have aged out of pediatrics because I will truly miss her. She always expresses her frustration as well when things are hard (like not being able to get in with doctors) and that is really validating for me since she just gets it!
