Experience

Physician Assistant, Hospital for Special Surgery

New York, NY 2013-Present

Work exclusively with an orthopaedic hand, upper extremity and peripheral nerve surgeon in which responsibilities include H&P’s, ordering and interpreting diagnostic studies, developing management plans and patient education for new patients, revisits, pre-operative and post-operative patients. These responsibilities were carried out while directly supporting the supervising physician and on independent clinical days. With my ability to independently see patients, I am able to free up the surgeon's schedule allowing him to maximize his time by seeing new and/or surgical consults. I also book surgical cases, keeping his surgical schedule filled. Surgical first assist when essential.
