Dr. James Shearer grew up in central Pennsylvania just north of Harrisburg where he graduated from Newport High School. He received his Bachelor's degree from Temple University College of Engineering, where he earned degrees in both Biomedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. He then attended the Temple University School of Dentistry earning his Doctorate in 1988. He was also a Member of the Temple University Oral Surgery Honor Society and Endodontic Society. Upon graduating, Dr. Shearer moved to the Allentown area where he received extensive training in General Dentistry during his residency at the Lehigh Valley Hospital from 1988 to 1989, entering into private practice later that year.
While busy establishing his own private practice, Dr. Shearer volunteered his time as an Attending Dentist at Sacred Heart Hospitals Dental Residency Program. He also continues to remain involved in charitable organizations, such as Donated Dental Services, and, currently, remains a member of the American Dental Association, Pennsylvania Dental Association, Lehigh Valley Dental Association, and the Academy of General Dentistry.
Dr. Shearer resides in the Lehigh Valley with his wife and has two grown children. He is a family man, who has a strong interest in sports, is very active, and enjoys his Harley Davidson. Growing up on a farm, he is well-known for hard work and never misses the opportunity to lend a helping hand to a fellow neighbor. He is very dedicated and dependable, both in dentistry and everyday life. He has been in private practice for over 30 years.

I've been going to Dr Shearer for at least 20 years. I've never had a problem with any of his work and the assistants are always friendly and professional.

I have been going here for years now and never had a bad experience. The staff is always kind and prices are more reasonable compared to other dentists in the area. If you are searching for a great and affordable dentist office, then this is the place to go.

Dr. Shearer has been my dentist since his practice opened in Whitehall, PA. The facilities and staff are top rate. I moved to Pittsburgh, PA in April of 2002 and I drive 300 miles and four hours, each way, to have Dr. Shearer perform my dental needs. I have never had an issue with his office or billing policies.

Warning get an invoice on the work they do. I was a new patient that asked for a cleaning and got billed $380 dollars to my insurance company. I never received an invoice when I left the office. Rip off don't do business with this company.
