Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 09/29/2023, Dr. Schamess has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
He didn't clean hands when he entered room. However, he did put on his mask. He's very attentive and listens well. Very knowledgeable and genuinely cares. It was the end of the day for him and I had a lot of questions which he patiently listened to and answered.
Very kind, knowledgeable, interested and not in a rush. I appreciate his professionalism. He was very through with exam and info gathering. He had obviously reviewed my history before coming in to see me and I found that reassuring.
He is actually a great doctor. Didn't talk down to me. Made sure I had a say in how we are going to handle my long term Covid.
Appreciate Dr Schamess focus on evidence based advice. Has my complete trust and confidence.
I love Dr. Schames as my provider. He is so attentive, and allows you to ask questions. Doesn't make you feel as if your questions are dumb or don't make sense.
Noted our interactions on MyChart plus initiated suggestions for improving my diet and health in MyChart. Also included recent history of bp and wt to help track my progress in MyChart progress note. Very helpful

Dr Shamess has changed my life through the Long Covid clinic. He is caring and listens to what is important to me.
OUTSTANDING experience.
He's a good listener and suggested I get a colonoscopy since I have a history of rectal bleeding.
Dr. Schamess was so kind. He is really trying to help with the long covid issues. He tries something and if it doesn't work he tries something else, rather than just dismissing the issue like so many doctors do. He listens and tries to figure it out. He actually wants to help his patients.

Dr Schamess is a top notch provider. This visit was for an annual exam. As always, Dr S went over my current health and inquired about any additional concerns I had.
Dr. Schamess is an excellent PCP. Very thorough and comprehensive. Highly recommend.
Dr. SCHAMESS is the best doctor I have ever had. When I have a concern about any health issue, he responds quickly and thoroughly. A year ag, if he had not ordered an additional test when I had a concern about my lungs, I would not have learned that I had cancer. He shares medicinal and practical approaches to dealing with the issues of aging. 3 of my family members are his patients and if he had space, I would ask him to take more. He is excellent. Caring, professional, a really good human being with indepth knowledge and commitment to his patients. He should get an award. His commitment to those in need is consistent and real.
