Alivia is an ABC-certified prosthetist/orthotist and community care coordinator for Hanger Clinic in Allentown, Bethlehem, and Quakertown, Pennsylvania.

As a clinician, with more than 7 years of experience in the field, Alivia provides both prosthetic and orthotic care to patients with a wide variety of diagnoses and needs. This includes amputation levels of hip disarticulation, transfemoral, transtibial, Symes, rotation plasty and trans radial devices. She has also had exposure to a wide range of adult neuromuscular pathologies such as CMT, CP, MS, CVA, TBI, etc. She is comfortable casting, scanning or tracing pending the needs of required devices.

Alivia is very passionate when it comes to anatomy and physiology of pathologies and how understanding their mechanism can lead to optimal care and biomechanical correction for patients. She enjoys focusing on gait mechanics and importance of therapy collaboration in helping patients to succeed and achieve their goals. She also understands the importance of early communication and preparation for patients undergoing amputation and is dedicated to providing a smooth and informative transition for patients and their families while navigating their healing post-amputation.
