Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.
Those five values show up most plainly in what Dr. Shannon wants to fix for patients. She wants every patient to feel heard, to know their concerns have been addressed, and to feel that the work they put in will bring them one step closer to the goals they care about.
Her passion is treating all manner of sports injuries, and she has years of experience managing complex shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and ankle injuries. In particular she specializes in the rehabilitation of ACL injuries, using both operative and non-operative approaches. Her expertise spans ACL rehabilitation, objective return-to-sport testing, injury prevention, manual therapy, emergency response and multidisciplinary collaboration, all in service of optimizing athlete health and performance through data-driven rehabilitation and comprehensive sports medicine.
In her free time Dr. Shannon enjoys weightlifting, hiking and paddleboarding with her dog, Luna, as well as curling up with a good book or podcast. At work, she likes Aureum because she feels valued, enjoys the people she works with, and has the opportunity to make a real difference in patients' lives by providing one-on-one, personalized care focused on finding the root cause of pain and dysfunction. She also appreciates having the freedom to keep growing professionally.
