We’re very excited to be involved in such a worthwhile cause.” Dr. Shirmo says, “These are not the big-money players who have millions of dollars in the bank, but the players who played more minor roles, but who took on greater injuries.” Since their practice has opened, they have helped countless patients, and in doing so they have become a part of many of the families in Trinity, including my own. I have been a patient since 2008 and I can honestly say that I love these doctors, and I know that I can call on them in a time of need. It may sound a tad corny to say that love is at the center of Trinity Family Physicians and their entire practice, but then again, why would we want it any other way? If there were more heart in the medical field would it change the way it worked? Perhaps that’s why their personal approach is so popular. One of their patients said, “Dr. Eldridge is one of the most knowledgeable physicians in this area. She cares about the patient and is also involved with the community and promotes positive caring to all. She is

After medical school, they completed their Family Practice Residencies at Florida Hospital, a Christian and “faith-based” hospital in Orlando, Florida in 2006. Today, both doctors are committed to continuing their education, training medical students and working in the community. In addition to his practice at Trinity Family Physicians, Dr. Shirmo serves as Medical Director for Madison Pointe Rehabilitation and Health Center in New Port Richey. Additionally, he is a Medical Director of a home health company called Suncrest Omni, which allows him to teach and provide medical consultations for patients at many facilities in the Bay Area. Drs. Eldridge and Shirmo have also been selected as exclusive medical providers for Mike Ditka’s NFL Gridiron Greats Charity, helping exNFL players who were injured while playing ball. Dr. Eldridge says, “There are only seven locations in the whole country, and we are the primary care doctors for the program in this area.

The Heart of the Practice Dr. Shirmo and Dr. Eldridge are high school sweethearts who met at Busch Gardens! Although they attended separate high schools in Tampa, (Dr. Shirmo graduating magna cum laude from Jesuit High School and Dr. Eldridge graduating from King High School), they decided to attend Tulane University in New Orleans together. They both graduated from Tulane with a Bachelor of Science in Cell and Molecular Biology, cum laude, and then because they pursued a shared interest in public health and the study of epidemics, they earned their Masters Degrees in Public Health in Epidemiology at Tulane before graduat-

Dated Material Please Rush!
Trinity Family Physicians was born in the hearts of two doctors who practice medicine for all the right reasons, and who put personalized care before everything else, which is why so many people have called them their doctors since they opened their doors in 2007. This husband and wife physician-team has one simple goal, and that is to have their family take care of yours. Stephanie Eldridge, M.D., MPH, and Amir Shirmohammad, M.D., MPH, (a.k.a. “Dr. Shirmo”) are Board Certified family physicians who offer personalized medical care in a variety of ways to each of their patients. Their office is located at the Trinity Professional Place complex (at the corner of Trinity and Duck Slough Boulevards) at 1817 Cypress Brook Drive, Suite 101. Their practice is both high-tech and old-school, offering patients all of the latest technology for record keeping, prescription access and communication, combined with good old-fashioned, hands-on care.
