Christopher M. Carrier, PA-C

With over 18 years of orthopedic experience and a passion for helping patients stay active, Chris brings extensive expertise in sports-related injuries, including surgical and non-surgical orthopedic care.

He earned his B.A. in Sports Medicine from Messiah College and a B.S. in Physician Assistant Studies from Rochester Institute of Technology. His career as both an athletic trainer and physician associate has included work in high school, collegiate, and professional sports settings, and spans top orthopedic practices in Maryland and Pennsylvania. His passion for education led him to serve as an adjunct professor in athletic training at Salisbury University and continues to drive his commitment to educational opportunities through Physician Associates in Orthopedic Surgery (PAOS), the nationally recognized subspecialty group for PAs working in Orthopedics.

He enjoys working as part of a top-notch team to return people to an active lifestyle as quickly and safely as they can, utilizing the full complement of nonsurgical and procedural means.

Outside of the clinic, Chris is a proud husband and dad to a great wife and two sons. He loves spending time with his family, playing guitar, fixing things around the house, and being outdoors.
