Kayla Brown, PA-C

Practice philosophy: I am dedicated to enhancing the orthopedic experience for both patients and colleagues. My practice philosophy centers on building strong relationships, fostering teamwork, and providing compassionate, evidence-based orthopedic care.

What are you passionate about and why? I am driven by a passion for connecting with patients and empowering them to achieve their health goals. As a collaborative team member, I am committed to utilizing my expertise, with a focus on shoulder and elbow conditions, to facilitate patients' return to a fulfilling, active lifestyle.

If you weren't a health care provider, what would you be? On the LPGA tour! Or a youth golf/hockey coach.

Why did you become a provider? When did you know this was the career for you? My journey to becoming a PA began with a shoulder injury playing hockey in high school. I was impressed by the PA's expertise, collaborative role, and dedication to patient well-being.

What is something you have learned from your patients? I have learned the importance of listening. Every individual brings a unique story, background, and set of goals to their recovery, requiring a personalized and adaptable approach.

What is one of the challenges of this career you enjoy? And why? I thrive on the problem solving required in clinical treatment and the operating room. While the evolution of medicine is challenging, I am committed to adapting to continue to improve my practice.

What is your personal health goal? I prioritize a healthy, highly active lifestyle.

What is the best thing you've done for your health or the best health advice you've received? After recently becoming a mom, I have learned the importance of prioritizing my physical and mental health, in order to provide the best care for my daughter.

What are you most proud of? I am most proud of my recent journey into motherhood. I am dedicated to working hard and leading by example as I raise my young daughter.

What are a few of your personal achievements? Completing PA school and working my dream job, as an orthopedic PA-C. Ran a marathon and my first cross-country ski race last year. Played Division I hockey at University of New Hampshire and made All-Academic Team x 4 years.
