💙 Happy Medical Assistants Week! 💙

Our medical assistants do a little bit of everything, and we couldn't do what we do without them! 👏

From preparing patients for appointments and assisting with procedures to keeping our clinics running smoothly, our MAs play an important role in helping patients get back to doing what they love.

They're often the first friendly face patients see, the helping hands our providers count on and the people working behind the scenes to make sure every patient receives the care they deserve.

This week, we're celebrating our MAs who help make Ortho Central such a special place for our patients and team. Thank you for your hard work, compassion and dedication to our patients and community!

"Kennedy is great. She explains everything very well. She is helping my son rehab his ankle from a football injury. She has met my son where he is and has been very forthcoming about the work he still needs to do, while also being very positive about the healing he's already made." - rater8 Verified Patient

"Mrs. Bailey listened to all of my concerns. My recovery involved several setbacks to which she addressed immediately. She put me at ease by letting me know what was going on with my shoulder and the healing/recovery process pretty much step by step. Very pleased with her doing my follow up visits" - rater8 Verified Patient

"Steven was knowledgeable about my spinal history, worked with me to understand what my issues were and clearly explained what and how to begin working on problem areas. I felt like Steven understood how I experienced my neck issues! I appreciate the time and care he today!" - rater8 Verified Patient of Stephen Klassen, PT

"He was such a nice guy, I had to take my 2 youngest to my appointment and he was just great with them and understanding. His nurse, though I don’t remember her name, I’m terrible with names was just the sweetest. I highly recommend John and Dr. Knutson for all your Orthro needs." - rater8 Verified Patient

"Nicole was very nice and attentive. Answered all my questions and even gave me some cleaning solution for my stitches. Over all great facility and team. I hope I never have to see them again but if I break a bone or have a fracture anywhere again I know who and where to go." - rater8 Verified Patient
