We’re excited to welcome Kassie Howard, MS, PA-C, to Center for Sports Medicine & Orthopaedics!
Kassie joins our team as a Physician Assistant and will be working alongside Dr. Lawson, Dr. Sanders and Dr. Bell to provide exceptional orthopaedic care to our patients.
Kassie brings more than five years of orthopaedic experience, with a background in outpatient and inpatient care, hand and upper-extremity conditions, fracture care, surgical assisting, and pre- and post-operative patient management. She has also provided orthopaedic trauma care at a Level I trauma center and has experience performing a variety of in-office procedures.
A graduate of Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, Kassie earned her Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies after completing her undergraduate degree in Exercise Science at Berry College. She was also a collegiate softball player at Berry, giving her a personal connection to the active lifestyles and goals of many of the patients we serve.
I am excited to continue caring for and treating patients, helping them return to their daily activities and active lifestyles. CSMO provides an excellent opportunity to continue practicing high-quality orthopaedic care while making a meaningful impact on the lives of my patients. I look forward to joining the team and serving the Chattanooga community by providing compassionate, patient-centered care, and helping patients achieve their goals.
Please join us in giving Kassie a warm CSMO welcome! We’re thrilled to have her experience, energy, and commitment to patient care as part of our team.
