Dr. Shawn Brubaker

Orthopedic Surgeon

Care Philosophy: My goal as a physician is to embody the word "doctor" which is based in a latin word that means "teacher". The focus is to communicate to you and your family the medical condition you are dealing with, how it began and what treatment options are available to manage it. Often I am able to give you a variety of options and let you choose the one which fits you best. The ultimate goal is a treatment plan that provides you substantial pain relief.
