Dakota is an ABC-certified prosthetist/orthotist for Hanger Clinic in Phoenix, Arizona.

With over 3 years of experience, Dakota specializes pediatric lower extremity orthotics, scoliosis (congenital, neurologic, and idiopathic), and lower extremity prosthetics.

Dakota has been pursuing a career in orthotics and prosthetics since high school. She enjoys working with patients to come up with a treatment plan that fits their goals and lifestyle in order to help them succeed and continue to enjoy the activities they love.

Her favorite part about working in orthotics and prosthetics is being there when patients take their first steps using their prosthesis or orthosis and the joy that it brings them. She finds it incredibly rewarding to be part of and witness the positive outcomes that make a difference in each of his patient’s lives. 

Outside of work, Dakota enjoys playing with her dogs (Finn and Willow), hiking, watching her favorite TV shows, and spending time with friends and family.
