I’ve been Dr Shearer’s patient for almost 20 years. Yes, he knows when to push me, usually with push back from me, in the end I have to admit he has always been right. Having a “medical history” with your primary care physician is extremely important as they know who you are as a person & their patient. I never have to explain anything to him. Family Medicine Doctors are the best and I have one of the very best.
