Dr. Sharon Lemmons knew she wanted to be a doctor since she was a child growing up on Adak in the Aleutian Islands. She saw medicine as a way to use her love of science to help others, a value absolutely consistent with who she has always been.

 

Dr. Lemmons graduated from Oregon Health Sciences University Medical School in 1998. She was thrilled to return home to Alaska for her residency at Alaska Family Practice which she completed in 2001 and she has been Board Certified in Family Medicine, in Alaska, since 2001.

 

In 2013, she decided she wanted to open her own office. She wanted a place where she could offer genuinely excellent patient care to families in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.  She wanted patients to feel their doctor had time for them and their needs and she finds getting to know her patients and their families, and helping to improve their lives, the most rewarding aspect of medicine.

 

When she is not working Dr. Lemmons enjoys spending time with her spouse, Bill, and their four children. She is active in her church and community, including her role as Cub Scout Den Leader.  She also enjoys fishing, camping, cooking, reading, and playing with her dog, Penny.
