Dr. Shemesh graduated Magna Cum Laude from Rutgers College with the highest distinction in Biochemistry and membership in Phi Beta Kappa. He then attended New York Medical College, followed by a residency at New York University Medical Center, where he completed a fellowship in pelvic surgery.
He served as a clinical instructor at NYU Medical Center prior to moving to Tampa, Florida. After having surgery for malignant melanoma in 1993, he became disenchanted with the conventional medicine model approach to understanding disease causes and prevention. After practicing obstetrics and gynecology for more than 10 years, he then turned his attention to holistic and
integrative medicine, and expanded the universal
holistic approaches of healing to men and children as well.
He founded
Mind Body Spirit Care, an integrative and holistic Medical Center with offices in Carrollwood and South Tampa, providing a partnership with patients for individualized care using evidence-based modalities for healing.
Dr. Shemesh is Board Certified by the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, the American Academy of Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine, and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, with certification in medical acupuncture from Harvard Medical School. He is a contributing author to the medical textbook "Food and Nutrients in Disease Management". He is married and has 4 wonderful children.
Dr. Shemesh focuses on identifying the root causes of health imbalance by testing for
hormones, nutritional deficiencies, and other imbalances using cutting edge diagnostic and predictive functional measurements. He then creates individualized care plans that incorporate
natural hormone replacement, diet and lifestyle modifications, physician grade supplements, stress coping tools, and eastern medicine practices including:
acupuncture,
Ayurveda, medical qigong, therapeutic yoga, and mind-body-spirit connectivity, to support conventional medicine in addressing the healing of all interconnected aspects of our well-being - mind, body, and spirit.
