Robert is an ABC-certified prosthetist/orthotist for Hanger Clinic in Orange, California.
As a clinician with more than 15 years of experience in the field, Robert sees patients of all ages. He works with pediatric orthotics, scoliosis bracing, cranial remolding, lower and upper extremity bracing for neurological/orthopedic conditions including cerebral palsy, spina bifida, arthrogyposis, osteogenesis imperfecta, and more.
Robert enjoys experiencing first hand how orthoses and prostheses makes a difference in a patients life from restoring their ability to walk again to correcting or preventing further progression of a deformity. He likes working in an environment that is always evolving and driving clinicians to continue to improve along with the technology.
He finds joy in developing relationships with families that continue for many years and as children grow up. When patients first arrive in the office, they often do not know what the future holds. Robert feels humbled to be able to provide a sense of hope and work with a team that helps to improve patients mobility and quality of life.
