Stephen Hanlon, MD, a board-certified cardiologist, earned a Doctor of Medicine at Georgetown University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C., and a B.S. in zoology at Duke University. Dr. Hanlon completed his internship and residency in internal medicine at David Grant Medical Center at Travis Air Force Base, CA, and a cardiovascular disease fellowship at Naval Medical Center San Diego, CA.
Dr. Hanlon treats the full breadth of cardiology patients with a focus on cardiac imaging, specifically echocardiography, and on patients with heart failure.
“I chose cardiology as my specialty because the heart seemed very elegant and there were a lot of different things you could do with cardiology,” he says. “It is a microcosm of medicine with elements of surgery, radiology and internal medicine that made it feel very wide open.”
“What appeals to me about taking care of heart failure patients, in particular, is that I really get an opportunity to spend a lot of time with them, forming a long-standing relationship with them and their families,” he says. “I help them through difficult times in their life, hopefully to a point where they can be much more functional and have a much better quality of life than when I first met them.”
Named a New Hampshire Magazine Top Doctor, Cardiovascular Disease, from 2018-2024, Dr. Hanlon spends his free time running, swimming, cycling and doing road races. Dr. Hanlon also enjoys spending time with his family traveling and attending the theater locally and in Boston and New York.
