Jillian is an ABC-certified prosthetist/orthotist at Hanger Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona. With over 15 years of experience, she specializes in lower extremity prosthetics (including pediatric prosthetics for patients as young as seven months old), microprocessor feet and knees, elevated vacuum systems, postoperative care, and sport-specific/running prosthetics.
Jillian is dedicated to custom-fitting devices that help her patients achieve their goals, whether it’s playing sports, keeping up with friends, or independently grocery shopping again. She is also committed to educating both patients and parents about the complexities of prosthetic devices and what to expect throughout their prosthetic journey. Jillian enjoys the unexpected turns pediatric appointments often take and uses play to assess movements and develop creative solutions for each child.
She loves working with her patients and their families over many years, helping them reach their functional goals and sometimes even pushing them to expand their goals further than they thought possible. Jillian celebrates milestones and accomplishments with her patients throughout their care journey.
Outside of work, Jillian enjoys riding motorcycles and photography. She loves traveling with her family and is always up for trying new restaurants. Additionally, she volunteers with Camp No Limits and participates in Empowerfest events.
