About Shane Hernesman, MD, CAQSM

Growing up in the Midwest as the son of a registered nurse, my love of medicine began very early in life. I learned the importance of the personal relationship between provider and patient initially from my mother, and later through my training in family medicine and sports medicine. I truly believe it is my privilege to care for my patients. After nearly 20 years of practice in Brevard County, I now have the time and the tools I need to truly provide personalized care to each of my patients through my affiliation with MDVIP.  We will be partners in your future health, focusing together on wellness and preventive medicine to help lead you to our common goal of a long, healthy and happy life.  

With our goals in mind, I encourage an active lifestyle and a healthy diet, with the additional benefit of advanced screenings in our MDVIP Annual Wellness Program. 

My special interests include managing diabetes, heart disease, sexual health, and orthopedic and sports medicine issues, including joint injections. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. I have developed many relationships with area specialists for local referrals and consultations, and I maintain privileges at Cape Canaveral Hospital and Rockledge Regional Medical Center.

Dr. Hernesman is a very special person. Most places now are nothing more than pill mills. My doctor takes the time to listen to what I have to say and recommends medication based on both that and his knowledge. His office is supportive and responsive when he's not there. I have been with him since he first started practicing on Merritt Island and think the world of him. His prompt…

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
