Karin Kuan-Hui Shih, MD

I am a Rehab Medicine doctor who specializes in treating cancer patients. I help patients return to their previous level of function by treating their pain or any disability from cancer diagnosis through their cancer treatment and beyond. Common conditions that I treat are post-mastectomy pain, lymphedema, shoulder pain, weakness and difficulty with daily activities. Common cancer patients that I encounter are cancers of the breast, head and neck, brain, spine and sarcomas. I work with a multi-disciplinary team including physical, occupational, lymphedema and speech therapists. Focusing on the highest quality of life for cancer patients and survivors is the ultimate goal of my practice.

I am a doctor specializing in Physiatry or Rehabilitation Medicine. I treat patients with pain or weakness due to an old injury or new diagnosis. With physical therapy and joint or muscle injections, I can help you return to the activities you love to do such as casual exercise or those things you need to do like sitting at a computer or desk all day. Common conditions I treat include neck and shoulder pain, back, hip, or knee pain all which can be a result of untreated muscle pain or weakness. I also see patients who are experiencing symptoms of weakness or fatigue after a diagnosis of COVID-19. My primary goal is to provide exceptional care and education to help patients of all ages return to their maximum level of function through comprehensive rehabilitation.
