Dr. Lindsay Sherrard always wanted to be a doctor, even going back to her early childhood when she would collect and study old X-rays from her family doctor’s office.
Family medicine was a perfect fit for her, combining her passion for preventive medicine and her desire to see the whole family, from children to parents to grandparents.
"I help my patients best when I know them in context," Dr. Sherrard says. "When I know their history, their family, their concerns, what they’ve been through in the past. That’s where I can really make a difference."
During her career, Dr. Sherrard has made preventive care a priority, but she also enjoys helping her patients navigate whatever health challenges come along.
She has extensive experience caring for patients of all ages, including nursing home care, hospital care, hospice/palliative, pediatrics, and outpatient procedures.
What’s the most important thing Dr. Sherrard does as a doctor?
"Listen," she says. "It’s critical and helps me see the whole picture. Before I recommend tests or treatments, I want to hear the whole story. Then, I can customize each patient’s care and help them achieve their goals while using as few medicines as possible."
