Adrian Sheremeta, MD

When I told My doctor I wanted to go to Peru and go up in the mountains he told me in no uncertain terms that with having asthma the way I do would I be able to breath in altitudes reaching 10,000 feet. Being over 70 and thinking I new better than my Doctor I went up in the mountains anyway. Shortly after checking into the hotel my oxygen level started to drop. When it reached 75% my wife said I was mumbling and making no sense when I tried to talk. It was late evening when my wife called Dr. Sheremeta at home. She told him that we were in a small village where there was no medical facilities available. He instructed her to go to the desk and see if they had any means of providing a person oxygen. We were lucky they had a portable tank and mask that they brought to our room. There wasn't any one in the hotel that knew how to use the regulator or what levels of oxygen were appropriate. My wife called Dr. Sheremeta back and he stayed on the phone and instructed her what to do all during the night. In the morning my oxygen level reached 90% and we disconnected the oxygen and headed down the mountain never to return. Never once during the night did Dr. Sheremeta say "I told you so". Upon returning home and seeing Dr. Sheremeta for the first time he asked why in the world would I ask for advice and then completely ignore it. I found it interesting that it was the same thing that my wife said to me. She was also upset that I never told her that I was advised that I shouldn't go in the first place. Thank you Dr. Sheremeta for all you do.

I have been Dr. Sheremeta's patient for over 25 years and during that lengthy professional connection, we have also become close friends. I am constantly amazed at the personal caring he exhibits for ALL his patients. This includes followups, written directives, text messages, phone calls, and even home visits when required. I have found such doctor-patient relationships to be very rare and in that sense, he clearly stands out among his peers. His dedication to the people he cares FOR is enhanced by the fact that he also genuinely cares ABOUT them - ALL of them. His response to the needs of his patients is always immediate, even when he is out of town or on vacation. I find this level of care to be truly astounding. It also needs to be said that he has assembled a very professional, friendly, and competent staff whose efforts always enhance the entire experience of an office visit, whether for routine examinations and tests, or for an unscheduled appointment based on the patient's more immediate need. In short, we are blessed to have this man as our Primary Care Physician and the medical profession as a whole is fortunate to have him among their ranks.

Each and every visit to Dr. Sheremeta, I gratefully receive a form of "medicine" from the heart. I am now 81 years old and have experienced the practice of many doctors. All, of course, had their medical degree and doctoral level of intelligence. No other general practitioner, though, has that certain something that sets them apart. Dr. Sheremeta's genuine heartfelt care and connection with his patients, along with his medical expertise and years of experience, make every visit truly worthwhile. His entire office staff, led for years be Michelle Godbey, manifest the same level of professionalism and "heartwarming medicine" that he exemplifies. In my opinion, his practice is a role model and should be the standard for every doctor at any level. What a blessing it has been to have had him as my doctor for the past twenty three years. Yours truly.

Dr. Sheremeta cares! He is interested in giving the very best care and always reminds me that I can call anytime when I have a need. He has always taken my calls and gave the best care possible. He is very easy to talk to and listens to what you have to say. It gives me great confidence that I am getting the best care there is for whatever issue I am dealing with. If I need an appointment, the office always seems to find time in his busy schedule to set up a time for me to see the doctor. I could not ask for any better care.
