While busy establishing his own private practice, Dr. Shearer volunteered his time as an Attending Dentist at Sacred Heart Hospital’s Dental Residency Program.

Dr. Shearer resides in the Lehigh Valley with his wife and has two grown children. He is a family man, who has a strong interest in sports, is very active, and enjoys his Harley Davidson. Growing up on a farm, he is well-known for hard work and never misses the opportunity to lend a helping hand to a fellow neighbor. He is very dedicated and dependable, both in dentistry and everyday life. He has been in private practice for over 30 years.
