This is a unique opportunity to specialize in a niche area, treating patients in a child-friendly, state-of-the-art clinic. Clinicians treat infants to reshape head shapes with the DOC Band® and correct ear shapes with EarWell®. Pediatricians and parents rely on our Clinicians as experts in the evaluation and treatment of plagiocephaly and misshapen ears. Our treating Clinicians build strong relationships with families throughout the treatment process. We welcome diverse backgrounds, as PTs and OTs are a great fit due to their knowledge of symmetry, cervical anatomy, torticollis, and infant/toddler development. Registered Nurses are also a good fit due to their hands-on patient care experience and compassion. Certified Prosthetist-Orthotists & Certified Orthotists are strong candidates due to their orthotics and direct patient care experience.
