Physician Assistants
Physician Assistants play a
major role at Peninsula Orthopaedics. Their specialized
education, experience and skills earn them the
position of mid level practitioners in office,
surgery, emergency and hospital settings. Acting
under a supervising physician, a physician assistant
can autonomously see patients, conduct physical
exams, order lab work, diagnose conditions and
write prescriptions.
At POA, our Physician Assistants
are true physician partners in your care. This
team approach helps us be more responsive and
accessible in treating your condition. While all
our PA’s take call and are trained to cross
cover each of our surgeons, we are working toward
one on one assignment to further integrate our
efforts.
You may see our Physician Assistants
alone or with your surgeon during your visit.
They help see patients in our office performing
non invasive procedures, exams, injections, casting,
and post operative evaluations. In the hospital
they take call, and handle emergency and urgent
care situations. They also provide an extra set
of hands in assisting the surgeon in surgery and
during the immediate recovery period.
Our Physician Assistants
are an extension of our physicians. The importance
of the correct diagnoses, proper treatment and
close follow up demanded in our specialty continues
to grow. We have a great deal of confidence in
the men and women we have chosen to assist us.
They are uniquely qualified to deliver the exaggerated
care you not only expect—but deserve.
