Shannon M. Patchen, APRN
My specialties:
- Addiction medicine
Professional interests:
- Alcohol treatment
- Opioid treatment
- Detox
- Pain management
Each person is unique and thus their goals should be individualized. Healthcare can be complicated and confusing, it’s important to listen, educate and encourage patients.
My practice philosophy is to provide integrated care that collaborates with the patient in creating an individualized plan that empowers patients to successfully manage their health.
If I wasn't a provider I'd be a photographer. I love capturing life moments and seeing things through a different lens.
I became a provider to help patients reach their healthcare goals.
My personal health goal is to eat healthy, increase exercise and maintain a healthy sleep schedule.
