Northern Light Primary Care in Oakland recently welcomed Gavin Hannon, DO, to its team. Dr. Hannon, who grew up in Oakland, has come back to care for his hometown community.

Hannon earned his medical degree from the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine in Biddeford, and his undergraduate degree from the University of Southern Maine. He is board-certified in Family Medicine from the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians.

“I had always wanted to be a ‘small town doc,’ a resource for the community, and I couldn’t think of a better place than Oakland to achieve that goal,” he said in a news release from the hospital. “Further than being able to achieve my professional goals, I know firsthand Oakland is a great place to build a life. The people are kind and caring; it’s the type of place where neighbors still help each other. We’re close to the mountains, we have the lakes, and I couldn’t imagine a better place to live and practice.”

“My practice philosophy is to create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere that promotes open and honest conversation so we can better work together to create an individualized treatment plan that is specific to a patient’s goals. It’s critical for patients to be engaged in their own healthcare,” said Dr. Hannon.
