Megan K McMahon, MSN - Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center

I love working with older adults and their families. I enjoy helping my patients meet their goals so they can live as well as possible, no matter what medical problems they are dealing with. It can be easy to get lost in our country's complicated and imperfect medical system. Patients deserve to have doctors who really listen to their needs and help them coordinate their care between providers. I work hard to communicate with my patients, understand their wishes, and help them get the care they need. Before coming to Dartmouth-Hitchcock, I worked for the Indian Health Service in New Mexico for 4 ½ years. Working in a resource-limited setting and learning cultural humility helped me become a better doctor.

A simple, warm hello can make all the difference for a patient walking into my office. Strengthening relationships with patients is a pivotal piece of my holistic, evidence-based care model. The same goes for loved ones involved in our visits. I love the connections we form through solid communication. When people feel listened to and respected, they’re more willing to see from a new perspective or consider a lifestyle change. Those lifestyle changes are important for preventing disease. It all ties back to ensuring my patients feel well enough to enjoy their retirement years. Getting to know them on a personal level and preventing disease through education is the best part of my job. It is a privilege to have that level of trust placed in my hands.
