Essentia Health-Duluth Clinic welcomes audiologist Dr. Shawna Reagan

Dr. Shawna Reagan, a doctor of audiology, is thrilled to join the Essentia Health-Duluth Clinic.“When I was an undergraduate at the University of Minnesota Duluth, I shadowed Dr. Brent Fisher in the audiology clinic at Essentia and helped him with his cochlear implant support group. This motivated me to pursue my doctorate in audiology,” said Dr. Reagan. “When I completed my education, I reached back out to Dr. Fisher for advice in regards to starting my career. When he told me about the opportunity available at Essentia, it felt like a true full-circle moment. I am so excited to take what I have learned these past four years to the place where my passion for audiology began, while being back in my beautiful home state of Minnesota.”Dr. Reagan earned her degree from San Diego State University in California. She is certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.“I have a passion for working with pediatric patients,” said Dr. Reagan. “I love working with children with hearing loss and their families to ensure every young mind has a means to communicate and grow in the way that is best for them. It is an honor to have families trust me to guide them through their journey, whether their child has a hearing loss or just needs a routine hearing check.”To schedule an appointment with Dr. Reagan, please call (218) 786-3419.
