About

Dr. McLean Sheperd is a Board Certified Dermatologist practicing in Mt Pleasant, South Carolina. She specializes in both medical and cosmetic dermatology, leading Sheperd Integrative Dermatology, a practice recognized as a Top 10 in South Carolina among Allergan accounts. The practice emphasizes a whole-body approach to skin wellness, combining conventional and functional medicine, and believes that sunscreen habits and regular skin checks go hand in hand for overall skin health. The practice's highly experienced providers refine their technique through thousands of treatments, delivering natural, beautiful results, including for Botox. They note not all injectors are equally skilled. Many procedures, like IPL, offer minimal downtime. Dr. Sheperd recommends a first skin exam for most children by age 10, or earlier with risk factors such as a family history of melanoma, given South Carolina’s strong sun. Providers utilize dermoscopy to evaluate benign nevi (moles), screening for irregularities. The aesthetic program has evolved to medical-grade skincare services, with Diamond Glow and Spot(less) peels recommended for students.

Childhood sun exposure plays a bigger role in lifetime skin cancer risk than most parents realize.
Source →
When is a child's first skin exam recommended?

Source →
What are common characteristics of acne marks?
Acne marks, including redness, discoloration, and uneven texture, can persist long after breakouts have cleared.
Source →
How does IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatment work and what are its benefits?
IPL delivers broad-spectrum light that targets excess pigment and redness at the source, breaking up discoloration and stimulating collagen production beneath the surface. This results in a more even tone, softened texture, and a noticeably brighter complexion with minimal downtime. Most patients see improvement after a series of treatments, typically spaced a few weeks apart, with results building over time as new collagen forms. IPL works best on discoloration and surface texture, but for deep, pitted scarring, it would be paired with other tools.

Margaret has mastered every aesthetic offering, enabling patients to safely explore and achieve their skincare goals.

Source →
What is the practice's process for mole evaluation and skin cancer screening?
When evaluating skin, providers look for healthy uniform patterns and screen for irregularities or other signs of cancer. Dermoscopy is one of the many tools used to assess what should be biopsied versus monitored clinically. Patients unsure if a mole needs a closer look are encouraged to schedule an appointment with the team of experts.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2025)

$799

Payments

33

Compared to peers

Modest

Dr. McLean Sheperd received $799 across 33 payments in 2025. That is higher than about 57% of the physicians here who received any industry payment. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was ABBVIE INC..

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
