Megan Straughan, MD, FACS

I decided to pursue medicine after being inspired by my pediatrician at the age of 8 years old. My mother and I had bounced around to multiple doctors, but I can only recall the care I received from him. He not only came to a swift diagnosis for the cause of my symptoms, but he also had a remarkable ability to explain the details of my diagnosis in a way that was easy to understand. My goal is manage acute and chronic illness while also educating my patient's on the underlying causes of their illnesses. I believe that developing a care plan includes understanding a patient's desire for their care while also considering barriers that may be present. I am eager to serve as a family medicine doctor that treats chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and chronic lung disease while also utilizing my Sports Medicine expertise to provide care to the active patient. Outside of work, I have a passion for exercise, golf, delicious food, and live music.

I chose to become a provider to help patients relieve suffering. My philosophy of care is that health is a state of complete harmony between the mind, body and soul. I stay physically active through running, weight lifting and yoga. I have many interests including supporting the local community, philanthropy, music, wood working, photography, gardening, traveling, culinary arts, antique automobile restoration and amateur astronomy. I am also a railroad and aeronautics enthusiast.
