OrthoPediatrics Specialty Brace: As a leader in specialized pediatric orthotics, we take great pride in having the industry's top clinicians, technicians, and administrative staff, led by an executive team dedicated to advancing the orthotics and prosthetics profession. We have recently joined forces with OrthoPediatrics as their Specialty Bracing division to help more KIDS!

Our Vision: To be recognized as the premier provider of pediatric orthotic and prosthetic services and products in the United States.

Our team believes in respectful truth and transparency when interacting with patients, referral sources, and our own team members. We hold ourselves accountable for providing only the best products and services to our patients. Our team is engaged and committed to continuous improvement of our products, our patient care, and ourselves.

Clinical Assistant Description: The ideal Clinical Assistant will be dedicated to providing compassionate patient care and enhancing the patient experience by facilitating an efficient process flow. This individual will be conscientious, self-motivated, and solutions oriented.

As the Clinical Assistant for a rapidly growing company, the individual in this role will blend patient care with design and fabrication of devices. Like other healthcare providers, the Clinical Assistant will work in partnership with other healthcare professionals and become familiar with all aspects of their patients’ rehabilitative care. The primary function of orthotic and prosthetic rehabilitation is to increase and improve mobility in patients with physical limitations and treat other orthopedic conditions of the spine and limbs with mechanical devices to relieve symptoms.

This role will require working in a team environment and assisting the Orthotist and, at times, having the ability to make decisions after proper training. This individual cares about providing the highest quality patient care and wants to be a part of a life changing industry. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills are critical.
