“Practicing orthopedics is not just about treating an illness or pain, it is also about educating and supporting patients to become healthier and more involved in their care,” he says. “It is very important to educate patients and give them the tools to better themselves.”

Yniguez received her master’s degree in Exercise Science with a specialty in Athletic Training in 2011 from the University of Toledo in Ohio. After two years as a certified athletic trainer, she wanted to expand her skill set and care for people beyond athletes. Stephanie then received her master’s in Physician Assistant Studies in 2015 from the University of Toledo. She remains a certified athletic trainer and found the perfect combination of her passions for sports and health care as a physician assistant with a specialty in orthopedics.

“To achieve quality care, it is important to have patients more involved with their treatment and to be a part of their health care team,” Stephanie says. “By doing so, as a health care professional, I am able to give the best care possible to my patients.”
