Orthopedics is a fascinating and rewarding field in which we can often make an immediate improvement in a patient’s life by alleviating pain and restoring function through a multitude of both conservative and surgical means.  Working with Dr. Kang allows me the opportunity to manage problems primarily involving the intricate designs of the elbows, wrists and hands; which are both fascinating to observe and critically important to everyday life.  In light of this, we afford each patient adequate time to address the concerns presented to us, in order that they may feel comfortable as an active participant in their own care.

Chris Carrier, PA-C, ATC began working with Dr. Kang at Peninsula Orthopaedic Associates (POA) in July 2007. He graduated from Messiah College with a Bachelor of Arts in Sports Medicine in 1999. After working as a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC) for five years in the high school and professional sports arenas, he returned to Rochester Institute of Technology, where he continued to work as an athletic trainer while completing his physician assistant education, graduating in 2007. Chris is board certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants, as well as by the National Athletic Trainers' Board of Certification.  He is a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants and is also a member of the National Athletic Trainers' Association.

Chris is married to a great and very patient woman, and is the proud father of one rough and tumble baby boy. He enjoys spending time with his family, watching and playing sports, playing guitar and building computers in his free time.
