Katie Fisher is an ABC-certified prosthetist/orthotist for Hanger Clinic in Charlotte, North Carolina.

As a clinician with more than 12 years of experience in the field, Katie specializes in all ages of pediatrics and is skilled in lower limb orthotics and prosthetics, cranial remolding orthoses, and scoliosis. Katie believes every person should have access and the ability to obtain mobility, and  that there is nothing more rewarding than seeing a child running through the hallways for the first time in their new orthotic or prosthetic device.

Outside of work, Katie enjoys exploring the outdoors with her husband, son, and black lab mix, as well as cheering on the Nittany Lions during football season.
