Amanda Stauffer, MHS, PA-C

I provide compassionate and informative care to orthopaedic surgery patients. My goal is to help my patients understand the plans for their care while they are at the hospital and when they return home. This includes making sure they clearly understand all aspects of their care plan, including medications and pain management. I really enjoy making a difference by helping improve my patients’ quality of life.

My work isn’t done until we have a cure for cancer. I’m focused on improving each patient’s experience through customized, research-guided healthcare. I want my patients to know that I am on their side. I do everything I can to ensure they’re well cared for with the latest and greatest in treatment. That includes my research and focus on strategies that prevent metastasis. In my office, each patient is treated based on their one-of-a-kind needs and life circumstances. For those with metastatic disease, helping them live as long and well as possible is my top priority. For individuals in the early stage of the disease, it might mean giving them minimal therapy to cure them without adding long-term side effects. I love watching patients hit important milestones. The times when a patient moves forward—healthy and happy after the strain of cancer—are a win for us all. No matter the situation, we work together. I want my patients to understand what’s happening, why and what their options are. I achieve that by sharing information, listening and empowering my patients to take control of decision-making and their overall health. Knowledge helps manage expectations. It also helps my patients find their strength and voice again. Watching them regain control of their lives is a wonderful thing.
