Ashley Dean, L/CP, L/BOCO

Ashley is a licensed, ABC-certified prosthetist and BOC-certified orthotist for Hanger Clinic in Murfreesboro and Estill Springs, Tennessee, with over 15 years of experience.

While Ashley specializes in lower limb prosthetics, she treats a broad spectrum of patients – from fitting a six-month-old with a cranial helmet to providing a World War II Veteran with a prosthetic leg. She cherishes the opportunity to help improve a person’s quality of life. Ashley’s grandfather was an amputee, and he never successfully wore a prosthesis, and she wanted to help others get back to living life to the fullest.

Specializing in infant cranial asymmetry, Ashley thrives on educating families about cranial remolding orthoses (CROs) and particularly enjoys when parents begin to see the improvement for themselves as the care journey progresses.

Ashley teaches continuing education courses for physical and occupational therapists in middle Tennessee. She is an active member of the Tennessee Society of Orthotics and Prosthetics (TSOP) and was the first female President of TSOP.

Ashley is also an active member of the Junior League of Nashville, and the MUW Alumni Association, where she serves on the Board of Directors and as the committee Chair of the Recruitment and Retention Committee. Outside of the clinic, Ashley has a rescue yorkie mix, Jasper, and she enjoys kayaking, paddle boarding, and finding new adventures with her family and friends.
