Megan Everson, M.D.

I strive to form a partnership with patients and their loved ones to provide thoughtful, personalized care. Together, we will form a plan that considers the specifics of your condition, overall health and health goals. This may include surgical or non-surgical treatments. You can expect a careful review of your medical history, relevant imaging and diagnostic studies, discussion of your symptoms and concerns, and a focused physical examination. We will then develop clear next steps in your care and ensure that your questions are answered. Your surgical care will be high quality and tailored to you as an individual.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family, working on home renovation projects, painting, arts & crafts, and gardening.
