Shandra Basil, DO

Dr. Shandra Basil is a board-certified osteopathic family physician at Basil Family Medicine in Johnstown. She earned her medical degree from Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed her family medicine residency at Adena Regional Medical Center, after finishing a bachelor's in exercise biology and a master's in human anatomy at Wright State University.

She now teaches osteopathic manipulative medicine as a clinical assistant professor back at OUHCOM, and in 2024 the ACOFP named her its Young Family Physician of the Year. Her approach leans on nutrition and osteopathic manipulation to support the body's own healing rather than treating symptoms in isolation.

A Chillicothe, Ohio native, she met her husband in her hometown, and the two now have two children she calls her pride and joy. She volunteers at Rock City Church and makes time for travel with her family, especially trips to national parks, Disney World, and the occasional cruise.
