About Dr. Nemero

Dr. Matthew Nemero, D.O.

Hailing from Youngstown, Ohio, Dr. Matthew Nemero brings a unique depth of training and perspective to his practice. His education is led by his endless curiosity and capacity for deep knowledge. He earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from A.T. Still University's Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, a Master of Physiology from North Carolina State University, and a BA in Communication Science and Accounting from Case Western Reserve University. A veteran and former Air Force flight doctor, Dr. Nemero learned early in his career that the people who depend on you deserve both excellence and accessibility.

Dr. Nemero's passion lies in empowering patients through education. He loves to teaches you how to navigate the healthcare system, understand your options, and make informed decisions about your health. In concierge medicine, he has plenty of time to explain test results, prepare you for a specialist appointment, or walk you through treatment alternatives. At every turn his goal is to give you the knowledge and confidence to be an active partner in your care. He believes that truly personalized medicine means taking the time to ensure you understand not just the "what," but the "why" behind every health decision.

You'll likely hear Dr. Nemero referred to as "Nemo". No, it's not about the fish! This was his call sign during his military service and most folks still call him Dr. Nemo!

"Dr. Nemero is not just one of those doctors that glosses over his patient. He's thoughtful, patient, kind, insightful, and takes the time to get to know you as a person first so that he can help you come up with the best plan of care that's unique to your lifestyle, habits, and goals.

 

I would highly recommend him! He's my favorite doctor! He also helped me reach my goal of losing 30 pounds in the six months that I worked with him."

"Dr. Nemero has excellent bedside manner and took the time to explain things in terms we could understand. I have had experience with other hospitalists who wanted to just get in and out, but you can tell that Dr. Nemero really cares about his patients."
