Joseph P. Shinnick, PA
Overview
I am a physician assistant who works in orthopaedics. I mainly see patients with hand injuries, hand pain, elbow and shoulder injuries. However, I’ve been a physician assistant for over twenty years, and during that time, I’ve also treated many patients with more general orthopaedic issues. I am a pretty low-key person who prefers to listen to patients during visits. Then, I like to confirm my initial diagnosis with any tests or x-rays and work with the patient to come up with a treatment plan. I worked in a hospital setting where physician assistants had a huge role, and my experience there inspired me to pursue my career path. While I was in physician assistant school, I had a mentor who specialized in orthopaedics. I found that I enjoyed the specialty too and haven’t looked back since. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family being, active outdoors and playing sports.

Duke Ambulatory Surgery Center
I am an orthopaedic surgeon who is the chief of hand surgery at Duke. Although we are referred to as “hand surgeons,” I treat many people with wrist and elbow conditions. Because the hand is so complex, patients who see me can have complaints that range from numbness and weakness to issues with range of motion. My grandfather, my grandmother, my mother and my father were all health care workers. I have wanted to be a surgeon since I watched M*A*S*H on the television as a child. I obtain great satisfaction from treating someone who has a very severe hand or arm injury, reconstructing the part and restoring its basic function. Duke has been the strongest hand surgery program in the country for the past 50 to 75 years. As chair of the program, I want patients to know that the best and the brightest providers are seeing them when they come to Duke.
