About Me
As a primary care doctor at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, I diagnose and treat a wide variety of acute and chronic health conditions. I believe commitment to wellness practices, which include fostering loving relationships, regular exercise, healthy eating, mindfulness practices and play, is the mainstay of healthy living and is crucial to managing illness and injuries.
Patients can rely on me as a collaborative partner as we work to improve their overall health and wellness. Building trusting relationships with patients and their families, and understanding what matters most to them, is especially important to me. The Ohio State University is a family and we work together to help patients and their families lead their best lives. I am proud to be a part of this wonderfully caring and supportive community.
My research is focused on strategies to help patients manage chronic pain, especially with lifestyle choices. I am part of the leadership team for Ohio State’s interdisciplinary chronic pain management service called Pain Rehabilitation and Education: Values and Activities that Improve Life (PRE: VAIL). My current research project involves studying how the interdisciplinary approach to chronic pain management impacts outcomes.
My formative education and training took place in the U.S. Army, where I served as a platoon leader. After medical school at Georgetown, I completed residency at Madigan Army Medical Center. My experience includes serving as chief medical resident, squadron surgeon in Afghanistan, hospitalist, clinic chief, internal medicine clerkship director, and brigade surgeon. The opportunity to help train medics, clinical staff, medical students and/or residents was a rewarding part of each job.
I love that my current role allows me the chance to continue teaching. As a faculty member in the Division of General Internal Medicine, I work with medical students and residents in both clinic and hospital settings. I also serve as a co-facilitator for Longitudinal Group, Ohio State’s “how to be a doctor” class for first- and second-year medical students.
When I am not working, I love spending time with my wife and kids, especially outdoors.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 09/30/2022, Dr. Corcoran has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
The doctor spent a good amount of time with me, answered all my questions, and I hardly had to wait in the exam room at all!
He's wonderful listens and advises appropriately
I really like Dr.Corcoran, he has good bedside manners and. Takes time with me, I've been diagnosed with diabetes and have lost 40 pounds and really changed the way I eat and take care of myself, so I was really disappointed in visit, I was hoping to come off some medicine.....

Excellent
Always, very considerate and curious about my condition.
Dr. Corcoran is one of the most empathetic healthcare providers (and human beings) that I've met. His medical knowlege is superb.
Always excellent care.
Dr. Corcoran is amazing. I spent a few years looking for a good PCP, and Dr. Corcoran was exactly the kind of dedicated, interactive physician I was looking for. He pays close attention, takes time to listen and ask follow up questions, and brings both a wide knowledge base and strong skills at researching specific questions. He is exactly the kind of doctor I want.
Dr. is great funny all around nice person.
The best I have wouldn't trade Him for anyone else
This was my first visit to this provider was very positive.
Always spends as much time as I need
Dr. Corcoran is extremely patient and thorough. I feel like he really cares about me.
Dr Corcoran was very attentive
Stellar. Listens carefully. Is candid where the clinical data is inconclusive. Clearly loves the practice of medicine. Since I have a number of chronic problems, he has helped me be organized in the visit. I leave feeling he has attended to all my important issues.
Dr. Corcoran is fantastic. He is extremely knowledgeable, caring, personable and professional. Highly recommend!
First time meeting in person, went great.
Excellent..in speaking with the doctor I received some invaluable information on stress reduction ,meditation, great insight on overall health information. One of the best doctors visits I have ever had.
They were great
Best doctor, best service.
Dr. Corcoran is wonderful!
Really seemed to care about my social and emotional well-being as much as my physical well-being. It was very refreshing to hear froma doctor.
He is the best doctor I've ever had but all my OSU doctors are great.
He was very nice has worked with me through my diabetes
Good experience
Dr. Corcoran takes his time, is a great listener and explores options with me.
Spent sufficient time with me listened to & answered my concerns.
Shawn Corcoran is the MOST attentive doctor I have ever worked with. He truly listens, focuses on my questions and doesn't just go through the motions with me.
Took more time with me than I could believe! Answered all my questions and was very kind, caring and helpful. Gave me hope!
Shawn has been an answer to prayer. He's patient and kind, he's also quite intelligent.
Every item raised was acted on & followed up on.
Knows his patient straight shooter.
He spent plenty of time with me, and always asked about if I had other questions/concerns. Allowed me to think and cover all my questions. Wanted to know my thoughts on the subjects covered and looked up guidelines on one question before providing his recommendation which I appreciated.
Superb physician
Dr Corcoran took the time to sit back in a relaxed position and talk. I very much appreciated that and needed it. He truly seemed to care. Often, physicians are much too busy to do this and maybe he was, as well. But he didn't show it, if he was too busy. I felt like he was truly focused on me for that short time.
I feel that I can talk to the doctor with ease, make you feel like family.
The care provider was very prompt and very good.
