Elaine Z Shing, MD-PhD

My primary goal as an orthopedic surgeon is to help people get back to doing what they love, whether that is elite sports, recreational hobbies, or making a living. I am here to help patients get back to living their best lives.

I enjoy teaching patients about musculoskeletal conditions, and my goal is to help every patient make an informed decision about their treatment plan. I believe that patient education and listening to the unique needs of each person are most important in helping patients find success with both surgical and nonsurgical treatment options. I love managing all conditions in orthopedic sports medicine with a special interest in hip and knee arthroscopy. I also perform shoulder arthroscopy, shoulder replacement surgery, fracture care, and general orthopedic procedures.

On the weekends, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two children. We love being active and exploring the Maine outdoors.
