Our orthotics and prosthetics office is dedicated to high-quality patient care, progressive clinical workflows, and intentional clinician development. We serve a highly diverse patient population with a significant pediatric caseload, providing broad exposure to a wide range of diagnoses, functional needs, and ages.

In orthotics, we utilize modern digital processes by scanning and digitizing all physical casts whenever possible and submitting them digitally. When digital submission is not feasible, physical casts are mailed with complete work orders to ensure accuracy and continuity of care.

Prosthetics continues to transition toward digitization at a thoughtful pace while maintaining the same level of clinical supervision and quality standards. Prosthetic clinicians participate in call coverage averaging two calls per week. When taking call independently, clinicians are partnered with another experienced clinician who can provide in-person or virtual support as needed.

New clinicians and residents follow a structured onboarding and mentorship model. This includes 1–2 weeks integrated with the administrative team, followed by three months of observation alongside a supervising clinician. The next three months focus on mentored practice, allowing residents to act as lead clinicians with direct support. This is followed by three months of a limited independent schedule, progressing to managing a full schedule independently at a pace aligned with comfort and clinical competency.
