Ashley Dean, L/CP, L/BOCO

Ashley is a licensed, ABC-certified prosthetist and BOC-certified orthotist who serves as the are clinic manager for Hanger Clinic locations across Middle Tennessee.

As an area clinic manager with over 15 years of experience, Ashley specializes in lower limb prosthetics. Her work spans a wide range of patient needs—from fitting cranial helmets for six-month-old infants to providing prosthetic limbs for veterans. Her passion for the field is rooted in personal experience: her grandfather was an amputee, and his challenges with prosthetic use inspired her to help others live life to the fullest.

Ashley has a particular interest in infant cranial asymmetry and takes pride in guiding families through the cranial remolding orthosis (CRO) process. She finds great reward in seeing parents recognize their child’s progress throughout the course of treatment.

Dedicated to the advancement of orthotics and prosthetics, Ashley serves as the Southeast Regional Residency Director and regularly leads continuing education courses for physical and occupational therapists across Middle Tennessee. She is also an active member—and the first female President—of the Tennessee Society of Orthotics and Prosthetics (TSOP).

Beyond the clinic, Ashley is engaged in numerous community and professional organizations. She is President of the MUW Alumni Association, a member of the Junior League of Nashville, and serves on the Advisory Board for the East Tennessee State University Prosthetics and Orthotics Program.

Outside of work, Ashley enjoys kayaking, reading mystery novels, and seeking out new adventures with her family and friends. She shares her home with Jasper, her energetic rescue Yorkie mix.
