Esra Shermadou, DO
Dr. Esra Shermadou is a board-certified Family Medicine and Obesity Medicine physician and the founder of Sakinah Health in Kettering.
She built the practice around the belief that healthcare should feel personal rather than rushed or transactional, giving patients room to speak freely, ask questions without judgment, and feel truly cared for.
Her own experience with how much a body can change over time, particularly through hormonal shifts, gave her a firsthand understanding of what patients mean when they say they no longer feel like themselves. That understanding shapes how she thinks about care now, with strength training, nutrition, and hormone health treated less as boxes to check and more as ways to help someone feel supported in the body they're living in.
