Orthopedic Specialist Makes Home In Glasgow Specialty Care Clinic

The Glasgow Specialty Care Clinic is seeing some new faces stop by to fulfill the orthopedic needs of the community. In partnership with OrthoMontana, out of Billings, Dr. David Shenton, Dr. Alan Dacre, and Dr. Curtis Settergren will be seeing patients for both clinic visits and office procedures two days a month at the Speciality Care Clinic.

Dr. Dacre and Dr. Settergren had previously seen patients in the Outpatient Clinic on the second floor of the hospital, while Dr. Shenton has just started practicing at the clinic earlier this month. The addition of Dr. Shenton was a result of fulfilling a need within the community. “We already had an established relationship with OrthoMontana, and we decided there was a need for a sports medicine specialist. It just made sense,” said Director of the Speciality Care Clinic Erin Aune.

The reason for the move from the second floor to the Specialty Care Clinic was simple, to better the patient experience and make the process easier for both providers and patients. “All Glasgow scheduling for these providers will now be done through the Specialty Care Clinic, and all billing for Glasgow visits will be done through the hospital instead of OrthoMontana. This makes it easier for the patient to better understand their billing statement and allows us to better track their needs,” stated Aune.

“OrthoMontana’s philosophy is to help smaller hospitals to succeed. It’s nice to have them come here and help out our community,” continued Aune. In addition to Dr. Shenton practicing sports medicine, Dr. Settergren specializes in upper extremity and Dr. Dacre specializes in orthopedic spine.

Dr. Dacre will be seeing patients Thursday, Aug. 15, and Friday, Aug. 16, while Dr. Settergren will be here Monday, Aug. 26 and Tuesday, Aug. 27. To schedule an appointment with any of the three visiting specialists, contact the Glasgow Specialty Care at 228-3536.
