Dawn Dorko

I am a Certified Athletic Trainer dedicated to providing exceptional health care to patients of all ages and athletes at all skill levels. With extensive experience collaborating with Physical Therapists, I develop and implement effective rehabilitation programs, focusing on either swift recovery or injury prevention. Trained in First Aid, CPR, and AED usage, I respond promptly to injuries and emergencies. My responsibilities include planning comprehensive rehabilitation programs, managing the removal and application of fiberglass casts, and providing durable medical equipment (DME). Additionally, I maintain detailed patient records, write injury reports, and communicate effectively with patients. Proficient in electronic medical record systems like EPIC, I am committed to delivering the highest standard of care to every patient.
