My Approach to Care

As a physician who works primarily in the Intensive Care setting, many of my patients are the sickest they have ever been. Many patients admitted to the ICU are scared and in pain, and it's my job to help them and their families understand what is happening and start healing from their illness. I am lucky to work with the best nurses and staff in the hospital to provide rapid intervention and highly skilled care when patients need it the most.

Profile

Dr. Shubert is the first person in his family to pursue a career in medicine. "I was lucky to have two incredible parents who provided me with the strength and opportunity to do whatever I wanted." During school, he gravitated toward math and science. He initially believed he wanted to be an engineer but ultimately developed a strong interest in medicine.

Dr. Shubert says, "critical care medicine is the most intense and interesting specialty because your patients are often at their sickest, and you have the opportunity to help those with the most need." 

The COVID pandemic was the biggest impact on Dr. Shubert's life since it was during his fellowship training in critical care medicine. He was able to experience both the most stressful as well as the most important work that he has done in his career. He had amazing mentors and faculty during his fellowship, including Dr. Emad Shehada, who inspired him to try and become as dedicated and compassionate a physician as they were even when under the most strenuous of conditions.

Dr. Shubert is excited to come to work each day because critical care medicine often moves quickly and he when he leaves the hospital at the end of his shift each day that he had a tangible effect on his patients' lives.

In his free time, Dr. Shubert volunteers through his church and is active in his local Catholic mission. He is an avid golfer and enjoys spending time with his nephew and family. He also has an interest in cooking and aviation.
