Shannon Connolly, MD, FAAFP, DABFP
Dr. Connolly is a co-founder and board-certified family physician. Her approach is simple: she wants to understand her patients—their life, priorities, and what matters most—so she can make healthcare decisions together.
She is deeply committed to creating a space that is inclusive, affirming, and never shaming. Whether patients are LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, undocumented, living in a larger body, have experienced trauma, or have felt unseen in healthcare before—they are welcome.
Dr. Connolly is active in physician leadership and advocacy at the state and national level, working to advance health equity and improve the healthcare system.
In 2025, she was honored to be named Family Physician of the Year by the California Academy of Family Physicians.
Outside of work, she enjoys trying new foods, hiking with her dog Sadie, tinkering with her five aquariums, and rescuing animals.
