Shannon Corrigan, MD, works as a physician at Reflex Knee Specialists in Bellevue, Washington.

Dr. Corrigan was born and raised in Bellevue, Washington. He earned his undergraduate degree in psychology at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, and his medical degree at the University of Washington in Seattle.

He has been board-certified in emergency medicine since 1996 after completing his residency training at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

Dr. Corrigan has been one of the surfing pioneers on the Washington coast since the late 1970s and has surfed in many far-flung places across the globe. He has extensive experience acting as the on-site physician at very remote surf camps in Indonesia.

He practiced emergency medicine in Hawaii for six years and has spent many seasons big-wave surfing on the North Shore of Oahu. Dr. Corrigan is a mixed martial arts fan and has studied and competed in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He remains an avid skier and snowboarder and loves spending time with his wife and nine-year-old daughter.
