Sarah is an ABC-certified prosthetist/orthotist for Hanger Clinic in Houston, Texas.
As a clinician with more than 10 years of experience in the field, Sarah provides general O&P to patients of all ages, with a focus on upper limb prosthetics, lower limb prosthetics, scoliosis orthoses, cranial remolding orthoses, and ankle foot orthoses. Her current focus is working with and creating prosthetic care plans for patients with upper limb loss and/or multiple limb loss. She has specialty education allowing her to work with patients with osseointegration. Sarah is passionate about O&P care and takes pride in putting her perfectionist tendencies to work for her patients, making sure their devices are as functional as possible without causing limitations to their lifestyles.
In recent years, Sarah moved here to Houston, TX and has become well versed with the local spina bifida population and works closely with hospitals to help establish great care for this population. Sarah spends time at the local children’s hospital helping with in-patient care and educational training for external physicians in the area. She also works with NCOPE to train Resident Clinicians within the O&P field.
Sarah makes sure to be in contact with physicians and physical therapists throughout treatment, in order to design and fabricate the most effective orthotic or prosthetic device to meet the patient’s individual goals. She applies the same philosophy to cranial remolding patients, working with their families and using a detailed, focused approach to treat each individual infant. She enjoys the joy that infant patients bring to the clinic.
Outside of the clinic, Sarah enjoys spending time with her two children and husband, hanging out at the beach, working out, and hiking. She’s also a hockey fan (Go Flyers!).
