“The doctor’s office did NOT know anything about the appointment today. I am glad I called to confirm before I left to go there”
Carolin S.August 13, 2024
“I highly recommend Dr. Shinn. He is very professional, thorough, personable and competent. He is also a great communicator and answered all my questions satisfactorily.
I have only had one office visit with him but I feel extremely comfortable with him performing the upcoming surgery.”

About Dr. Edward Shin
My goal is to provide timely, professional, and cutting-edge care for specialized treatment of the shoulder, hip, and knee. I utilize the latest minimally invasive surgical techniques to deliver the best care for sports injuries such as labral tears in the hip, ACL and meniscus tears in the knee, and rotator cuff injuries in the shoulder. I also treat more advanced joint pathology with partial and complete joint replacement when necessary. I completed my medical degree at the University of California, Davis, followed by a residency in Orthopedic Surgery at the same institution. I further specialized with a fellowship in Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy at the University of California, San Francisco. My undergraduate studies were completed at the University of California, Los Angeles. At my practice, we serve as leaders in the innovation of orthopedic surgical treatment, with nationally recognized and award-winning research in arthroscopic treatment of shoulder and knee injuries. Our team works hard to provide each patient with the respect and attention that we would give to our own families.
