"So glad to go to Sycamore Family Denistry. Today, they made time for a new patient, my 88 year old mother. Loved the care they took with her and so did she."
"A lot of stuff going on in my mouth! And the staff has been amazing. Denise taking time in her off hours to talk, Rhonda and Julie out front helping with prescriptions and scheduling, and of course Dr. Sheppard taking time to thoroughly explain things and options. This team is amazing!!!"
"Great support staff and the dentists and hygienists are top notch. This complement is a consistent reality of this practice. Knowledgable, helpful, caring and on time appointments too!"
"I broke a tooth while on vacation and have no local dentist yet. Called Sycamore Family Dentistry to see if they take emergency’s. They got me in within the hour. X-rays, sealant and another appointment for a crown within 45 minutes. The dental hygienist, Denise, was great!! I have a sensitive gag reflex and she did an amazing job getting me focused on other things while she got the x-rays. Everyone in the office was very friendly and reassuring. Looks like I found my local dentist!"
"Friendly staff and dentist who make you feel comfortable throughout the process. Explain their findings throughout the cleaning process and checkup by the dentist and make recommendations for improvement."
"The staff are all very efficient and wonderful. The dentist and his helper were on top of everything to fix my chipped tooth. It looks great to have a big smile back on my face again!!! I can’t say thank you enough."
"Available always when i need emergency service. All the members of the staff are quick to answer my questions and keep me informed during the procedures."
"I was new to this practice and felt at home as soon as I arrived. All the staff were friendly and informative. Dr was approachable and down to earth! Will definitely recommend."
"From the moment you call the office to the moment you see Dr. Sheppard, you realize that one thing is most important and that is you. Dr. Sheppard and his entire staff truly want your visit to be comfortable, like you are visiting a friend, not a practice. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, respectful and have a common interest in making sure you are cared for and appreciated as a patient, not just a number. If you are one that gets a bit anxious and puts off dental care, STOP RIGHT NOW, NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND CALL THE OFFICE. I assure you that you will be glad to meet such wonderful people and you will leave with a smile!! Whether it is routine dental work, or an emergency They have you covered. They made me feel so comfortable that I almost fell asleep during a root canal. Do yourself a favor and stop being just another patient and become one of their family. Many thanks to Dr. Sheppard and his entire staff. Glenn Update for May 1 2024 Again, I can’t say enough good about Dr. Sheppard and his team. They are so glad to see you and truly appreciate you as a patient, only thing is that you don’t feel like a patient you feel like part of the family. So as I have said before, stop procrastinating and call them today and see for yourself."

"I have loved my experience at Sycamore Family Dentistry so much! They are all so welcoming and they give you the best care. You leave feeling clean and happy. ;)"
"I have been seeing Sycamore Dentistry for over 20 years. I have ner been disappointed. The care and skill set is the best and is why I have not seemed another. I have to say the ladies in the front office are not just front office staff they are my friends. I leave after my hygienist is done with smiles and therefore I have a good day. In 2007 I had a full page ad in Ebony magazine and my ile is why they chose the photo."
"Dr. Shaperd and Staff has always been there for me. They work me in when needed for dental procedures, cleanings etc. The staff is always cheerful and courteous to me."
"Dr.Sheppard, Dr.Madalena, and the staff are amazing to work with !! They are really friendly and just an overall wonderful environment!! I highly recommend them to EVERYONE!"
"I had some dental anxiety and hadn't visited a dentist in more time than I'm willing to admit. I finally made an appointment after some nudging from my wife and I couldn't be happier that I did. Dr. Sheppard and the dental hygienist, Cindy were both nothing but professional, caring, compassionate, and non-judgmental. They gave me a ton of great advice for dental care and also gave me some options for some cosmetic improvements to my teeth. I have a bit of work to get done, so I have to go back, but I can honestly say I'm looking forward to going back and getting the work done. My teeth already look noticeably better after the thorough cleaning done by Cindy, and I didn't experience any pain during the cleaning. To anyone putting off going to the dentist or anyone looking for a dentist in general, I cant recommend Dr. Sheppard and his staff enough, they will take care of you."
"One of the best experiences I have had with a dental office. The staff is always courteous, and they were able to get me scheduled as a new patient very quickly."
"Everyone at sycamore dentistry is amazing. Always on a first name basis, im relatively late but it’s no worries. Small business but very knowledgeable. Thank you for really good people. Doctor Madalena and Sheppard are amazing :). Front desk and friends are so welcoming. I recommend and am so grateful they’re down the street from my home."
"Dr. Sheppard is a wonderful dentist. He has up to date treatments and does not pressure you to do unnecessary procedures. The office staff is friendly and patient. The office is conveniently located in Midlothian."
"Great service, as always. The staff, and particularly the dental hygienist, are knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and gentle! Highly recommend this practice"
"Since we arrived to The US, my family and I were looking for a good dentist and visited at least 6 different ones until we found Sycamore, they treat you very well and nicely, plus the doctors have that soft hand to make your procedures really comfy. 100% recommended!!!"

One thing that stands out here is the dentist is fast and precise, definitely the best experience I’ve ever had. We are a family of 5 ranging from ages 2-36 and we all feel comfortable here. If you’re looking for a place where you feel welcomed and a trustworthy dental team I would highly recommend trying Hopewell Family Dentistry."

"My first visit with hopewell family dentistry today was amazing. From the time I checked in I was greeted with smiling faces and welcome to their facility, both the dental assistant as well as the dentist himself was very thorough and very informative about all the work that would need to be done. What I love the most was that they continue to ask me throughout my sessions with them if there were any questions or any concerns about my consultation and x-rays and information given of the work that I would need to get done and assured that I was set with all my appointments leading up to my next session with them. The staff was awesome even as I left wishing me the best with a big smile! It’s a very comfortable environment. I highly recommend this facility for anyone looking to get dental services, they are booked up for almost a month out but go figure they are so good at what they do. Looking forward to my next session at the end of January. -Tameeka"
"I went to Hopewell Family Dentistry today . As a new patient. They staff there so darn sweet. When I met Dr. Shepherd he was also very friendly. I’m the type that is scared of dentist. That sure changed when I met them. My future daughter in law . Highly recommended Dr. Shepherd and his staff. I can’t wait to go see them Aug. 11 th I would highly recommend Hopewell Family Dentistry. I finally found a dentist that I will keep going to. I would give 5 stars. Rene Pennock."
"Great staff who was patient and accommodating of a mom with 3 young boys. We were able to schedule appointments that allowed all of us to get a cleaning back to back and they were very understanding when the 2 year old was scared of tools, even showed him what each one did before sticking it in his mouth as well as letting him be in "way" when it came to my turn. Very clean and simple office."

"My son's first visit to the dentist was a success at 2 yrs. old they made him feel like a big boy and comfortable and he didn't want to leave after his appointment."
"This is by far one of the best dentist I have ever been too. I was having issues with a lower back tooth for at least a couple years. I bought up the issue with my then dentist. They took X-rays and said it was fine. But I still was experiencing sensitivity to cold and if I bit down on food just right it would hurt. I decided to go to another dentist. I saw Dr Sheppards reviews and decided to make an appointment with Hopewell Family Dentistry. I was super impressed first visit because he diagnosed my tooth problem immediately. I had a crack in that tooth. He showed me a picture of it even. Also, Dr Sheppard and his staff take great care with their patients. They are friendly and you never have to wait long at all. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone."
"Dentist and staff both are very friendly and well trained and educated in their field of dentistry. I myself and my 11 year old granddaughter are very satisfied with Hopewell family dentistry. My granddaughter just had two teeth pulled without any problem. Staff made her feel relaxed and let her have her stress toy to hold while having procedure. Love these guys!!"

"What a wonderful dentist went to get a filling today, and they put the numbing gel on my gum. A few mins later they started working on my tooth. when then dentist was finished I told him I couldn't believe it he didn't even give me a shot. And to my surprise he told me he did. I did feel or see the needle. Wow....."
"They were very friendly and were able to answer all of my questions. I had an emergency, and they were able to accommodate my need quickly. The appointment time was the same as the time that they actually saw me....not an hour later!! Very Pleased Customer"
"I took my 9 y/o daughter in yesterday to HFD as a new patient and it was the best experience at the dentist that she's ever had. They made her feel so comfortable and it was the first time that she wasn't nervous. The staff is so friendly and Dr. Sheppard is just awesome! I was referred here by a friend that takes her kids here and I will refer this place to anyone in need of a dental office. HFD treats you like family and I'm so glad that my daughter loves it so much!"
"My grandsonson had a appointment this morning. It was a great experience. I think I was more scared than he was in thinking of how his reaction was going to be but he had a great first experience and I want to thank Hopewell family dentistry for making that a pleasant visit for him see y'all again in six months"
