Ronnie Shade Jr., DO

Ronnie Shade, Jr., DO, joined Esperanza as a Family Medicine Physician in 2025. Although originally from Texas, Dr. Shade earned his Master of Health Sciences from Drexel University College of Medicine and his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. While already familiar with EHC, Ronnie was drawn to Esperanza after spending a day shadowing Dr. Leaman. He found it was amazing to see prayer incorporated into the visits, and felt very welcome in the space. Ronnie hopes to demonstrate love to his patients, to make them feel like they are cared for, and to make an impact on his patients and their generation by empowering and motivating them. Outside of work he loves to travel, stay active, and he is a big foodie.
