About

Dr. Shawn Whelan is a primary care physician who practices in Ventura. He takes an integrative approach to optimizing each patient’s health by treating the whole individual and combining evidence-based medicine with a focus on lifestyle, including nutrition, exercise, and emotional wellbeing. He is board certified in family medicine and sees patients of all ages and backgrounds, with added focus in pediatrics, women's health, sports medicine, dermatology, bleeding disorders and osteopathic manipulation.

Dr. Whelan grew up in Woodland Hills. He received his medical degree from Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, and completed his family medicine residency at Kaiser Woodland Hills.
