St. Luke's Hamburg Primary Care
I have spent nearly three decades evaluating and caring for patients with complex health challenges and have been fortunate to maintain relationships with many patients for more than 20 years. I believe in caring for the whole patient and try to gain an understanding of my patients’ background and social context. I practice evidence-based medicine in my approach to evaluating and treating my patients.
I am board-certified in internal medicine and clinical informatics (a specialty that focuses on incorporating information technology into clinical practice) who joined the St. Luke’s University Health Network in 2018. I have practiced in a variety of clinical settings. I spent 7 years in the US Air Force, 3 years as a resident and 4 years as a faculty member of the internal medicine residency program. I was in private practice for 4 years during which I took care of my patients in the office as well as the hospital, ICU, rehabilitation and nursing home.
Subsequently, I worked again as a teaching physician in an internal medicine program where I taught residents and medical students in both inpatient and outpatient settings. During this time period, I also led quality improvement for our faculty clinical practice and helped lead the implementation of the electronic medical record across a health system. I currently practice at St. Luke’s Hamburg Primary care where I focus on caring for my patients in an outpatient setting.
Outside of work, I am a husband and father of 4 adult children. I enjoy cooking, winemaking, homebrewing, making mustard, sauerkraut, kimchi, and hot sauce from scratch. I also play classical guitar and like to run on local trails.

“When my friends tell me about the negative experiences they have with their own doctor's office visits...(wait times, being hurried through, not valued as an individual, etc) I tell them about St Lukes and Dr Scheirer. I am extremely happy with the care I receive at St Lukes - and especially from Dr Scheirer.”

“I am in the medical field. I would not go to a Dr I did not trust. Dr Scheirer is one of the best. He probably cares about my health way more than I do. I tend to put myself on the back burner and he always reminds me that I am important. He listens to what I think and will listen to me without being glued to a computer. He is great with advice and concerns. I have recommended many to this practice. A care team like this is hard to find.”
