MOC is proud to utilize Physician Assistants as Physician extenders. Physician Assistants are licensed health care professionals whose comprehensive responsibilities include conducting physical exams, diagnosing and treating illnesses, ordering and interpreting tests, counseling on preventive health care, assisting in surgery, and writing prescriptions. They function under direct physician supervision and are a valuable adjunct to your treatment at Midwest Orthopedic Consultants. All of the PAs at MOC have earned Master's level degrees in Physician Assistant studies and have been hand chosen by their supervising physicians.
