Timothy Acheson, PA-C
- Orthopedic Physician Assistant
Tim's path to orthopedics has been deliberate — he started as a physical therapy aide watching patients rehab a knee, spent a decade in EMS, scribed for clinicians who modeled patient-centered communication, and finished his PA training rotating with the LAOSS hand team. He treats every visit as a chance to actually fix what's going on.
Tim completed his senior PA rotation at LAOSS itself — 10 weeks across pediatric ortho, hand surgery (with Dr. Malafa and Dr. Pickrell), podiatry, and spine. He first-assisted trigger finger and carpal tunnel releases, performed 70+ image-guided knee hyaluronic-acid injections, and conducted focused neuromuscular exams for spine patients.
