Orthopedic Care Specialists

About Us: Physician Assistants

Physician Assistants (PAs) are health care professionals licensed to practice medicine as part of a team that is directed by a doctor. Educated in the same medical model as doctors, PAs provide a broad range of health care services that are often the same as those you might receive from your doctor. PA’s allow your visit with the physician to happen in a more timely and efficient manner. You will find that PAs are generally very accessible and are able to spend more time with you during a visit.

Physician Assistants can:

  • Conduct physical exams
  • Diagnose and treat illness
  • Order and interpret tests
  • Develop treatment plans
  • Counsel on preventative health care
  • Assist in surgery
  • Write prescriptions

The scope of a PAs responsibilities corresponds to the supervising physician’s practice. Each PA must be licensed and have a supervising physician in order to practice medicine.
