Bruce D. Shephard, MD

I received my undergraduate degree in history from the University of California at Berkeley where I graduated Phi  Beta Kappa.  I finished medical school at the University of California in San Francisco and  then  completed  a  residency  in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Miami in 1974. Following two years in the U.S. Air Force Medical Corps, I moved to Tampa to join an OBGYN group in which I practiced for 17 years.

During this time I researched and wrote a consumer health book, co-authored with my  wife,  Carroll,  a  nurse  and psychologist.   Our book, The Complete Guide to Women's Health, won the Mead Johnson Patient Education Award in 1992. I have written other articles which have appeared in McCall's, Brides, Woman's World,   Mademoiselle, BabyTalk, and other magazines.

I am certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and am a Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

I began my own practice because I want to offer a more personal approach to my patients' needs at a time when many health care services seem to be going in much the opposite direction.
