JAMES GAOR, MD

(Panel Closed to New Patients)

James was born and raised in California, but ventured out to the East Coast to become board certified in Emergency Medicine after training at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, NY. He is a self-described technology geek and enjoys the thrill of finding simplicity within chaos. James feels that Direct Primary Care is leading healthcare into the 21st century. In his spare time, James wishes he has more spare time, to trail run, cook and eat real food, and spend time with his wife (see above) and 2 kids.

Shea Suskin, MD

(Panel Closed to New Patients)

Shea joined the Halcyon team in January 2020, and is thrilled to have found this opportunity to practice relationship-centered medicine alongside such a wonderful group of people. She has been in southern California since 2010, completing her family medicine residency training at Harbor UCLA county hospital. After residency, she spent 7 years working in federally qualified health centers in Long Beach and Anaheim. While grateful for her time in that setting, she believes that direct primary care will allow her to practice the more personalized and holistic type of medicine that she resonates with.  Shea recently completed a two-year fellowship at Dr. Andrew Weil’s Center for Integrative Medicine in Tucson AZ. She brings a non-judgmental and affirming approach to her patients, strongly believing in your body’s natural ability to heal and desiring to partner with you to reach your wellness goals.
