Unveil the story behind your doctor

Dr. Sherick grew up on a small farm in Idaho learning at a young age the value of hard work and discipline. Many of his tasks would involve using his hands, and complex tools/instrumentation leading to a stable foundation to build upon for a young physician and surgeon.

As a competitive athlete Dr. Sherick sustained several major lower extremity injuries which sparked an interest in patient care, surgical treatment of injuries, and sports medicine. While many would struggle to find a positive outlook on this experience, Dr. Sherick has been able to turn this situation into a positive by being able to have genuine empathy for his patients, while also being able to relate to patients on a personal level.

Dr. Sherick prides himself on taking care of his patients as if they’re his own family members.
