Pinehurst Medical Clinic (PMC), a trusted healthcare leader in the region, is pleased to announce the addition of Dawn Stanley, MD, a board-certified pulmonologist and sleep medicine specialist with over 20 years of clinical experience, to its growing team of specialists.
Dr. Stanley brings deep expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of pulmonary conditions, including asthma, COPD, interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary hypertension, as well as complex sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and insomnia. Known for a compassionate, patient-centered approach, Stanley has spent the last two decades improving outcomes and quality of life for patients with chronic respiratory and sleep-related conditions.
Dr. Stanley earned her Doctor of Medicine degree from Rush Medical College in Chicago, IL. She completed her internal medicine residency and a fellowship in Pulmonary, Critical Care, and Sleep Medicine at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, IL. She also received an undergraduate degree from Loyola University, Chicago, IL.
Her passion for medicine began at an early age after being diagnosed with a medical condition that introduced her to exceptional healthcare providers. Their compassion, dedication, and expertise inspired her to become an advocate for her own health, ultimately leading her to pursue a career in medicine. Stanley has created a care philosophy focusing on educating and empowering patients. โMy goal is to ensure patients truly feel heard and supported, so they are encouraged to actively participate in their own health journeys,โ she states. She is dedicated to helping patients understand how to prevent, manage, and treat medical conditions with confidence and clarity.
Dr. Stanley chose to continue her pulmonary and sleep medicine career with PMC, drawn by her first impression of the commitment to high-quality, comprehensive, and collaborative care that would enable her to provide and serve the Sandhills community.
Originally from Chicago, Dr. Stanley and her family are enjoying their new life in North Carolina and exploring everything the state has to offer. She, her husband, and their two dogs, Tula and Lewie, are adjusting to the new altitude and humidity and look forward to traveling to visit their children across the U.S.
Dawn Stanley, M.D., will see patients at PMC- Greenway Court, located at 1413 Greenway Court, Sanford, NC. To learn more about PMC's Pulmonology and Sleep Medicine Department, visit www.pinehurstmedical.com
