Shelby Anne Switzer, PAC

TOCA at Banner Health is Arizona’s premier resource for orthopedics, led by nationally recognized physicians. Our promise to our patients is providing the most advanced treatment options and highest level of personalized care for a superior quality of life.

I will spend as much time as needed face-to-face with each patient listening to their unique story to determine exactly what they need to reach their individual activity goals without pain.

In clinical practice, I work to understand each patient's concerns, which in hand surgery are all unique. Because of this, treatment options are not necessarily straightforward. I believe in educating patients to understand their underlying problem, and then discuss with them available nonsurgical and surgical treatment options. Knowledge empowers patients to make the best possible treatment decision for themselves. I am conservative, and will try to exhaust nonoperative treatment options prior to surgical interventions when possible.
