Anis Shahmiri MD

Anis Shahmiri took up the pursuit of medicine at the urging of his father who thought a medical career would be noble.

A strong scholastic record secured him one of the highly sought-after slots in the Government Medical College in Kashmir, India, and Anis was on his way. After post-graduate work in internal medicine at the Institute of Medical Sciences in Kashmir and several years in general practice in Dubai, Anis served several years in residency at the Nassau County Medical Center, SUNY at Stony Brook, East Meadow, New York.

He finally arrived in Florida as an internist with the Central Florida Heart Center in August 1998. Stints at the Institute of Cardiovascular Medicine and the Heart Doctors of Ocala followed. In July 2013 Dr. Shahmiri joined the family of the Institute of Cardiovascular Excellence as an internist.

“I’ve known Dr. Qamar for many years,” he says. “Knew of his commitment and his work ethic. When the opportunity came for me to join his Institute, I did not hesitate. I believe I bring a strong clinical knowledge base to the practice and many years’ experience. I spend a lot of time talking with my patients, their families, their extended families. I know them better than they know themselves sometimes. You have to, to analyze their problems, look outside the box. Getting to know your people and getting them to trust that you have their best interests at heart, that is what I strive for. That is the Holy Grail.”
