Dr. Shawn Hamilton, MD, MBA is a board-certified internal medicine physician. She is licensed both in California and Nevada with nearly 30 years of experience in primary care, chronic disease management, preventive medicine, population health, utilization management, and complex medical decision-making.
She built and managed a Southern California primary care practice serving 2,000 patients, giving her deep insight into real-world patient concerns, medical record review, diagnostic test interpretation, medication decisions, lifestyle change, and whole-person care.
Dr. Hamilton served as Hoag Hospital Physician advisor for 4 years to reduce COPD readmission. She also worked as Medical Director at AltaMed Health Services and Regional Medical Director at Health Net, where she worked at the intersection of clinical medicine, insurance coverage, quality improvement, prior authorization strategy, care gap closure, and evidence-based medical decision-making.
She also founded Sowing Seeds Health, a California nonprofit healthcare organization that provides Enhanced Care Management and Community Supports under CalAIM, serving patients with chronic illness, homelessness, serious mental illness, and complex social barriers.
Dr. Hamilton is now offering cash based direct telemedicine services to both California and Nevada residents. Through Dr. ShawnWellness.com, she now helps patients and families who already have a primary care physician but want a physician-led second opinion, medical record review, diagnostic test explanation, wellness strategy, lifestyle medicine guidance, and help patients and families make clearer medical decisions, understand complex records, and thorough interpretation of the test results.
If you are preparing for specialist visits, or would like to improve your breathing and strength through her wellness program, she can design a custom program for you to improve your longevity. Since she has been a medical director that reviews for prior authorization, you can understand how your medical documentation lead to prior authorization denials.
