Elliot is an ABC-certified prosthetist/orthotist for Hanger Clinic in Great Falls, Montana. He chose the O&P field after becoming an orthotic patient himself, and finds the combination of caring for patients and the design and fabrication of O&P devices both interesting and rewarding.
As a provider for a small rural office, Elliot enjoys being able to provide all types of orthotic and prosthetic care, including cranial remolding orthoses. He focuses on applying his diverse knowledge to provide creative solutions.
He particularly enjoys working with cranial remolding patients and their families, watching infants progress not only in their cranial asymmetry treatment, but also in their personalities and overall development.
Outside of the clinic, Elliot is usually doing an outdoors activity like backpacking, hunting, or snowboarding, often with his two dogs, Jekyll and Quinn.
