Shawna L, De Graff Roberson, DO, FACOI
Physician
Dr. De Graff Roberson, who primarily goes by Dr. De Graff is proud to be joining the OnPoint Broomfield clinic in fall 2024. She is a Colorado native, born and raised in Greeley Colorado. This is where she completed her Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology with a double minor in Biology and Chemistry. She went on to get a Master’s degree in Exercise Physiology, both from the University of Northern Colorado.
After grad school she spent several years teaching Anatomy and Physiology, Kinesiology and a variety of fitness classes at the Academy of Natural Therapy, Aim’s Community College, Community College of Aurora, Front Range Community College and Arapahoe Community College. But even after several years of teaching, she never lost the desire to pursue her true passion of Medicine.
She went to Medical School in Ft Lauderdale, FL at Nova Southeastern University, earning her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine in 2011. She then went on to complete a residency in Internal Medicine at Broward General Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine at Larkin Community Hospital in Miami, FL, and remains board certified in both areas. After completing her training, she returned to Colorado and has been practicing here since.
Her expertise not only includes traditional Internal Medicine, in which she is proficient in the most complex of cases, but rather uniquely also includes many non-surgical Orthopedic procedures such as ultrasound guided joint and spine injections. She also does regenerative and reparative injections using PRP (platelet rich plasma) and prolotherapy to help repair injuries, not just “put a band-aid on them.”
Her techniques in Osteopathic Manipulation are typically gentler than most, yet just as effective, and have been used on patients ranging from 9 years old to 90 years old with good outcomes at all ages. It is the concept of treating the entire being from multiple modalities that truly makes her a unique and very effective physician.
