Physician assistants are versatile clinicians in our practice. They can perform physical examinations, diagnose and treat orthopedic injuries, order and interpret lab tests, perform minor procedures, assist in surgery, and provide patient education. They extend the ability of our surgeons to care for our patients. PA-C is an acronym for Physician Assistant – Certified, meaning they have their own medical licenses and have passed the Physician Assistant National Certifying exam, among other requirements, before receiving the medical license designation “PA-C”.

Kristine was both professional and thorough, reviewing the X-rays of the titanium erector set in my left leg inserted after a fall on black ice in January 2021. She gave me an all clear on activities for now and we’ll do another annual visit in 2026.
