About

Dr. Shannon Cheffet joined San Diego Sports Medicine & Family Health Center in June 2013. After completing her undergraduate studies at University of California, Davis, she attended medical school at Western University College of Osteopathic Medicine. Pursuing her love of both pediatric and adult medicine, she completed a combined residency in pediatrics and internal medicine at Loma Linda University in 2006. She obtained board certification in both specialties. Her career has spanned a variety of interests, which started with her serving for four years as a medical director of a San Diego County community health center system. Her clinical experience has included treating critically ill hospitalized patients at Sharp Memorial Hospital, as well as caring for newborn babies at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women and Newborns. Bringing her pediatric and internal medicine training to our team, she enhances our philosophy of quality care for the entire family. In 2016, Dr. Cheffet was nominated for the San Diego County Medical Society Top Doctors for Pediatrics.
