Dr. Shawn Skerrett, MD

I worked in a pulmonary specialty clinic for several years with some very talented providers. As such, I know what I'm talking about when I say Dr. Skerrett is an exceptional doctor. He is thorough, he is brilliant, he is empathetic, he knows his craft, and he knows how to help and what won't help. All along the way he communicates what he's thinking, in layman's terms or more in-depth depending on your interest, and he's a very talented medical detective. He gave me all the options, his suggestions, and he gave me a heartfelt apology that he could not figure out my condition. He did not pretend to be omniscient (an unfortunately rampant problem in our healthcare system) and he was not hesitant to say he would be glad to look into things further. He went above and beyond to help me. I'm not easily impressed by healthcare providers because I've seen the best on action, and I'm impressed.

Dr. Skerrett was my husband's pulmonologist for 10 years. He was the finest physician we worked with during David's many illnesses. His patient advocacy and skill are only surpassed by his kindness. We were indeed fortunate to have known Dr. Skerrett.

Truly excellent knowledge and attention to my 90-year old dad, who can be a little difficult and resistant to advice let alone medication. I have visited and worked with a lot of doctors, and Dr. Skerrett has the best patient bedside manner and ability to work with this kind of patient that I have ever seen. (Medical students/residents should observe him.) Also super-responsive and detailed in response to our many questions.
