Meet Dr. Thomas Evans
Physician, Coach and Advocate for Well-being in Healthcare.
I’ve spent my career working in emergency medicine—helping people through some of the most critical, complex moments of their lives. Over the years, I’ve also witnessed the toll this work can take: the burnout, the disconnection, the quiet sense of being overwhelmed. I’ve felt it myself. That’s what led me to expand my work beyond the ER and into the world of coaching.
Today, as a certified personal, executive, and health & wellness coach, I partner with healthcare professionals and leaders who are ready to reconnect with their values, clarify their purpose, and create space for real well-being. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in the belief that you already have the wisdom within you—I’m here to help you access it.
Background & Purpose
A Brief Introduction.
For nearly two decades, I’ve dedicated my career to emergency medicine—serving patients, mentoring medical students and residents, and leading within my hospital community. I trained as an emergency physician at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, where I also served as Chief Resident. Since 2009, I’ve been an attending emergency physician at Milford Regional Medical Center in Massachusetts, where I now hold several leadership roles, including Co-Assistant Medical Director of the Emergency Department and Assistant Chair of Emergency Medicine.
Throughout my career, I’ve worn many hats: clinician, educator, administrator, and mentor. I serve as Co-Site Director for the UMass Emergency Medicine Residency, oversee medical student education through the UMass Emergency Clinical Problem Solving course, and sit on both the Medical Executive and Flow Committees. My passion for guiding and supporting others has always extended beyond the bedside.
But like so many in healthcare, I’ve also felt the intense weight of burnout. That personal experience led me to expand my impact in a new direction.
I pursued advanced training in coaching—earning certifications in Positive Psychology Health & Wellness Coaching, Team Coaching, and Executive Coaching through the College of Executive Coaching, an International Coaching Federation Accredited Coach Training Program. I’m proud to be an Advanced Certified Personal and Executive Coach and a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach.
Today, I work with fellow physicians and healthcare leaders who are searching for something more—more clarity, more balance, more meaning. My coaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that we all hold the keys to our own fulfillment—we just need space, guidance, and support to reconnect with what truly matters.
Outside of my clinical and coaching work, I continue to stay involved in community service and governance as a Corporator and Foundation Board Member of Milford Regional Medical Center, and through my volunteer work with Project Just Because in Hopkinton, MA.
Whether I’m in the ER, in a coaching session, or mentoring the next generation of healthcare providers, my mission is the same: to foster resilience, purpose, and well-being in those who give so much of themselves to care for others.

I offer flexible scheduling during weekday business hours – by appointment only. Together, we’ll find a rhythm that supports your growth. My goal is to make coaching accessible while encouraging you to invest fully in the change you want to see.
