Meet Dr. Megan Shirley

Founder & Internal Medicine Physician
Whole Human Health

Dr. Megan Shirley, DO is a board-certified internal medicine physician and founder of Whole Human Health, a practice dedicated to whole-person care that looks beyond symptoms to understand each patient’s full health story. Her mission is to build lasting relationships with patients and provide thoughtful, unhurried care grounded in medical excellence, compassion, and accessibility.

Originally from Mississippi, Dr. Shirley earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Music Minor from Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi. She went on to become part of the inaugural graduating class of William Carey University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Hattiesburg—an experience that shaped her deep respect for holistic, patient-centered care.

She completed her residency in Internal Medicine at Wellington Regional Medical Center in South Florida, where she now practices and lives. With experience in both hospital and outpatient settings, Dr. Shirley brings a broad and seasoned perspective to adult healthcare—from managing complex chronic diseases to addressing urgent needs and preventive wellness.

At Whole Human Health, Dr. Shirley blends traditional, evidence-based medicine with lifestyle counseling and nutritional support, including supplements when appropriate. Her approach is comprehensive and collaborative—designed to empower patients, improve outcomes, and remove the frustration often associated with insurance-based care.

By choosing a Direct Primary Care (DPC) model, Dr. Shirley ensures her patients have easy access, no hidden costs, and more time in every visit. Whether you're insured or uninsured, she works with you to find affordable solutions and specialist support when needed.

When she's not seeing patients, Dr. Shirley enjoys spending time with her family and being outdoors. She continues to explore integrative and preventive health practices to better serve her community. Her care is grounded in a simple but powerful belief: when we treat the whole human, we can truly make a difference.
