Dr Hamilton
Meet Deb Hamilton, MD
Board certified Family Medicine physician since 2001, practicing in the Farmington area for 20 years. She provides Family Medicine services to ages 10-100+ in her office, through telemedicine and house calls.
Having grown frustrated with the high volume, rapid pace of primary care services offered through corporate healthcare, she has turned to an alternative, more relaxed and personal delivery of care.
She created this practice because she believes the DPC model is more sustainable for physicians and is happy to offer a premier healthcare experience for patients at an affordable cost.
Rooted in the foothills of western Maine.
A note from Dr. Hamilton:
So, yeah, I’m from away, but I have deep family roots here, and the western foothills have been my home and happy place for most of my life. My mom’s family is from Canton and Leeds. My grandfather worked for International Paper in Jay. My Aunt was delivered by Dr DFD Russel. As the daughter of a high school bio teacher, I spent the school year in Massachusetts and my summers in Hartford, Maine.
My folks built a one room cabin a half mile in from the road. No neighbors, no running water, no electricity. Saturday mornings I listened to cartoons on a shortwave radio. We hiked, canoed, swam, dug in the dirt, read, played musical instruments, and saw deer, bears, moose and a multitude of birds. In college, for me, spring break was always spent in this cabin.
I loved it in western maine and knew it was where I wanted to live forever. So I decided to become a doctor. No, really, I did. While working as a lab assistant in a Harvard neuroscience lab, two years after graduating from Oberlin College, with a biopsycholgy degree, I finally figured out how I could follow the dream of living here. By becoming a doctor.
After another 2 years of working full time, taking premed night courses, and racing mountain bikes, I was ready to apply.
