Certified Prosthetist Orthotist dedicated to patient-centered care.
What I'm looking for
I am a Certified Prosthetist Orthotist with a strong commitment to enhancing the quality of life for patients through effective orthotic and prosthetic solutions. My experience at Floyd Brace Company has equipped me with the skills to evaluate, fit, and troubleshoot devices tailored to diverse patient populations. I pride myself on my ability to communicate empathetically with patients and caregivers, ensuring they receive the education and support necessary for successful outcomes.
During my tenure at Kenney Orthopedics/Hanger, I played a pivotal role in onboarding new residents and facilitating compliance with clinical protocols. My collaborative work with VA providers has streamlined processes, improving the efficiency of authorizations and purchase orders. I am well-versed in managing clinical documentation while adhering to HIPAA standards, which has significantly enhanced the claims success rate and turnaround time.
