After receiving specialized orthopedic training, he served at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where he was mentored by influential orthopedic surgeons and PAs who recognized his passion for patient outcomes and encouraged him to pursue his Physician Assistant degree.
Today, Shawn finds the most reward in seeing his patients regain their mobility. Whether it is through successful physical therapy or improved imaging results, his goal is to help patients return to their daily activities and hobbies without the burden of pain.

Shawn, the PA is an excellent provider and the reason I came back to Premier for my medical needs with my knees.

First time there so I didn't know where to park. I had a VERY sore foot and had a long walk to get to the clinic. When I was done the lady at the receptionist desk took me in a golf cart back to my car! Such a wonderful act of kindness.??

Everything went very smoothly and I was impressed with Shawn. He knew exactly what was wrong and addressed it . Sent me to physical therapy to get started and will go from there. He assured me the medication he was subscribing would help 100 percent.

The entire team was fabulous; Sean was attentive and explained everything. I had a wonderful PA student that did a complete exam and asked me all the questions to assure that nothing was missed. The walk-in clinic was amazing!!!

I received a shot of Cortizone in my arthritic right knee and within a few hours and especially today the knee doesn't hurt but the muscle around the knee stiffened so that I can't bend it making it very painful getting into a car or sitting at a table.
