Patrick Schafer, MD

Why Did You Become a Medical Provider? I chose to become a medical provider after I suffered a hiking injury that severely limited my ability to compete in my chosen sport and perform my job at the highest level. After going through multiple surgeries and long recovery I decided to go back to school to help people as an orthopaedic surgeon.

Philosophy of Care: My philosophy of care is that the best outcomes occur when the patient and providers work as a team and follow evidence based practices.

Personal Interests and Hobbies: Traveling, hiking, watching sports
