Meet Dr. Shiari

Education​

• MD — Al-Nahrain University, Baghdad, Iraq

• MPH — Texas A&M Health Science Center​

Residency Training​

• Internal Medicine Residency — Henry Ford St. John Hospital, Detroit, Michigan​

Certifications​

• Board-Certified in Internal Medicine (ABIM)

• Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine (DABOM)

Clinical Focus​

• Preventive cardio-metabolic health

• Obesity medicine integrated with chronic disease optimization

• Strength-preserving care to support long-term independence​​​

 

My medical and public health training shaped a prevention-first approach rooted in evidence and real-world applicability. I focus on understanding each patient’s goals, history, environment, and clinical baseline to build clear, practical plans that prioritize sustainable long-term health and independence. Medications and diagnostic testing are used intentionally when clinical benefit outweighs risk and supports prevention or improved daily function.​

​

​What patients can expect when working with me​​​​

• Unrushed conversations that feel clear, focused, and human

• Confidence in decisions, grounded in evidence and practicality

• Strength, function, and independence—whether improving challenges or sustaining existing potential

• Care plans that adapt with clinical baseline and health goals, not one size fits all

• Medications and testing used deliberately when clinical benefit clearly outweighs risk, enhances prevention, or improves meaningful daily function—not to replace foundational health-building strategies.​
