Yvette Brown-Shirley, MD

I'm holistic and personable in my approach with patients. It's very important to me that patients leave my office knowing more about their condition and feel comfortable with our treatment plan.

Patients come to me for neurological issues from traumatic brain injuries that are caused mostly by sports, falls, or motor vehicle accidents. It's very important to me that patients leave our initial visit knowing that they're part of a multidisciplinary team to help them recover. A brain injury can be frightening to families, and concussion recovery is often a journey. I'm humbled to walk my patients through their recovery to assure the best outcomes. I love this field of neurology because we can make a big difference in patients' lives. Medical advancements have given us a greater understanding of traumatic brain injuries, and it's a great time to be a neurologist specializing in concussion care.

As a Native American and first-generation physician, I'm proud of my heritage, and passionate about improving culturally sensitive care and accessibility to neurological services for Indigenous communities.
