Erin Cater, MS, PA-C

I'm passionate about helping people return to activities that they enjoy, whether that be sports or activities of daily living. I enjoy seeing my patients heal and assisting them with this process so that they can live an active lifestyle.

Although my immediate goal is to help patients improve their function and decrease their pain, my ultimate goal is to help them engage in this process to create a long-lasting result. I’m always careful to explain a patient’s orthopaedic problem so that they can truly understand the causes of their condition and implement a treatment plan that really works for them. The most successful outcome is one where a patient feels they participated in their own care, has less pain, and is more mobile.
