Kinsey Herrin, MSPO, CO, LO      

 

Kinsey Herrin is an American Board Certification (ABC) Certified and Florida licensed Orthotist. She earned her Masters of Science in Prosthetics and Orthotics from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2010. She then completed her orthotics residency at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and most recently completed her prosthetics residency at the University of Michigan. She obtained her Bachelor's degree in chemistry at the University of Georgia.

 

Kinsey feels she has a unique appreciation for the issues faced by her pediatric orthotic patients. Her introduction to the O&P field began as an orthotic patient at Shands Hospital in Gainesville, FL as a child. She wears an ankle foot orthosis herself and enjoys the special connection that she shares with her patients. She believes that every patient deserves to be treated as an individual and with an evidence based practice approach. Kinsey enjoys leading clinically relevant research endeavors and has conducted research on the orthotic treatment of idiopathic toe walking and also recently completed a study on the outcomes associated with a new transfemoral socket design.

 

When she's not in the office, Kinsey enjoys spending time cooking, kayaking, biking and gardening with her husband and two dogs.
