Arnaud Brisard, PA

Arnaud Brisard, PA, is a UW Health physician assistant specializing in orthopedic surgery. He cares for patients in both clinic and hospital settings and works closely with the orthopedic team to support people with bone, joint and muscle concerns. Arnaud enjoys helping patients understand their treatment choices and what to expect as they move through their care.

In his practice, Arnaud treats a wide range of orthopedic conditions. He frequently cares for people with chronic joint pain, inflammation and arthritis, especially in the knees and hips. He also helps patients with injuries such as broken bones, sprains, tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome. Arnaud offers many treatment options, including at home exercises, physical therapy, oral medications and joint injections. When needed, he also supports patients who may require surgery. His goal is to help each person improve their mobility, decrease pain, and return to the activities they enjoy.

Arnaud follows a patient-centered approach to care. He believes in listening carefully to each patient to understand their needs, concerns and goals. He makes sure his patients have clear and realistic expectations for their recovery and understands that not every problem can be completely fixed, but many can be improved with the right plan. Arnaud takes time to explain all available treatment options so patients can make informed choices. He also recognizes that orthopedic injuries often come with emotional challenges and he supports patients by helping them see a clear path forward and celebrating their progress along the way.

Outside of work, Arnaud enjoys an active and family-centered life. He is an enthusiastic Illinois sports fan and likes spending time outdoors. He enjoys golfing, traveling, walking his dog, and being with his family. These interests help him stay grounded and bring balance to his work, something his patients often appreciate when getting to know him.
