Dr. Shannon Golden
MD
Concierge Pediatrics · Cincinnati, OH
Dr. Golden became a pediatrician to walk alongside families as their children grow. She watched her mentors help parents through each stage of development, speak up for kids who couldn’t yet speak for themselves, and teach children why their own health matters. She wanted to do that work.
A gap year after college shaped how she does it. Dr. Golden worked for the AIDS Foundation of Chicago, providing health education to young adults at youth centers. She saw how education can change someone’s health and why you meet people where they are. It taught her what kind of physician she wanted to be: one who works collaboratively with her patients.
That’s still her approach. Care is a collaboration built on trust and free of judgment. She shares what she knows, listens to what matters to your family, and helps you reach a decision that works. She explains why she’s ordering a test and what it will tell you, and she likes to ask the patient about themselves directly. Parents stay part of the relationship, and kids know they can talk to her too.
“We are in this together. Unhurried care, honest guidance and decisions made together.”
— Dr. Shannon Golden, MD
Mental health is her greatest passion. Pediatric patients need more support than they often get, and she wants talking about it to feel ordinary so kids feel safe coming to her through hard stretches. Patients appreciate that she is calm in any setting and direct when something needs quick action. She likes to close the loop so everyone knows the plan and next steps.
She chose concierge medicine for time. In her practice, families can bring up anything and see the same doctor from visit to visit, so they don’t feel they need to look elsewhere because another option is more convenient. Dr. Golden hopes to add community offerings such as parent and teen groups. She also wants to dispel the idea that concierge care is only for an elite few. Unhurried, personal care is something any family can value.
