Shea K. Taylor, MD

As a member of the orthopaedics team, I provide specialized care for each patient. I take their unique injury, goals, and current life circumstances into account to help them decide on the best course of treatment. My goal is to help my patients return to their daily activities and the recreational activities that make them happy. One reason I chose to work in orthopaedics is because of my own experience with orthopaedic injuries. My journey from the initial injury, through surgery, and return to activities, inspired me to give this care to others. It is gratifying to help patients through the ups and downs of the recovery process and see them return to their daily activities after an injury. I enjoy helping my patients navigate their health care to make decisions that are right for them.

Vascular disease can affect every aspect of a patient’s life. Its complexity means proper treatment requires a comprehensive plan. That's why I listen carefully to my patients so I can understand their concerns. I explain care options in detail so that with their help, I can tailor each plan to their unique needs. I’m able to walk my patients through that process and provide the best care possible thanks to the full gamut of therapies available at Dartmouth Health. Ultimately, my goal is to help my patients tackle this complicated disease. The sooner they get back to the activities they love, the better.

I believe in working as a team with my patients, weaving medical knowledge with my patients' and their families' unique needs and concerns. Together we develop a comprehensive care plan. My goal is to help my patients navigate a stressful time by making them feel confident that they are heard, supported, and receiving the best care.
