Shawn Michael Myers, MD, is a board-certified family physician who cares for patients of all ages. He provides evidence based management for acute and chronic conditions and integrates mental health support into primary care. Dr. Myers performs minor procedures such as skin biopsies, joint injections and Nexplanon contraceptive placement. Drawing on a background in psychology, he focuses on practical behavior change while partnering with patients to set achievable goals that improve health and quality of life. He previously served four years as a Navy family physician, including two years with the Marines in Iwakuni, Japan and two years at a joint reserve base in Louisiana.

His path to medicine began with a desire to make a meaningful and positive impact, and he chose family medicine to help people stay healthy and reduce the risk of future disease so they can fully enjoy their lives. Outside of work, Dr. Myers enjoys brewing mead and cider, learning new programming languages and playing video games. He often listens to fantasy and science fiction audiobooks while completing household chores, and he enjoys gardening, especially attending the annual Northwest Flower and Garden Show with his wife.

Practice Philosophy:

My goal is to care for you as a whole person and to be a supportive partner in your journey toward health and wellness. I want you to leave each visit with a better understanding of your conditions and the options available to manage them. We will work together to create plans that fit your needs and values, even if we do not always agree, you can trust that I will offer objective, evidence based guidance every time.

If you ever have a condition that requires care beyond what I can safely provide, I will make sure you are connected with the right specialist. If you want to explore approaches that I am not comfortable offering, I will help you reach a trusted colleague who can give you another perspective.
