Bio
What techniques or procedures do you use in your practice?
Osteopathic manipulation, laceration repairs, skin biopsies.
What would you like patients to know about your approach to care?
My approach to care is to form a teammate type relationship with the patient, inform them of all choices and options, and come up with a plan of care that should succeed. I follow up and monitor my patients closely. When it comes to chronic disease, I make sure that I educate the patient on the disease so that they are empowered to control it.
What inspired you to become a doctor?
I’ve always had a passion for helping others. There is no better way to help others except to make them feel their best.

I have full confidence in Dr Shekari
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/31/2026
Dr. Shekari has my complete trust and confidence.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/29/2026
Over the shorter amount of time that I have been seeing Dr. Shekari, I have full confidence and comfort with him. He listens to me, he offers help, he's very relaxed, he talks to me like a person yet someone who does have knowledge about the medical field and my "conditions". I appreciate being able to message or call him with questions and concerns and know that he will give me the best advice and is not treating me like a $ sign. I have mentioned his name in conversation with people because I think he is fabulous and what he does
