We Asked:

What is your favorite part about working at Orthopaedic Specialists?

Angel: “My favorite part would be that it is a small, but fast-paced and successful office run entirely by women!”

Rhonda: “My favorite part about working for Orthopaedic Specialists is the work environment. Each one of us supports everyone else, whether that is here at the office or outside of work. We have a great work family!”

What is your favorite or most memorable work experience?

Angel: “I love our team building outings that we have! My most memorable one would be when Dr. Grossfeld surprised us with our first shopping spree to show her appreciation for us. We’ve had several since that first time, but that one was really special.”

Rhonda: “Several years ago, Dr. Grossfeld was the treating physician for the WWE when their training center was located here, before it moved to Florida. During that time, I got to meet a few of the wrestlers and even got autographs for my kids when they were young!”

Is there anything else you’d like to include about Dr. Grossfeld, Orthopaedic Specialists, or your co-workers?

Angel: “I feel so blessed to have worked here for 19 years. Dr. Grossfeld is well aware that I am a ‘lifer’ in the office. The world of billing and insurance changes constantly and can be challenging at times, but I have learned over the years to accept that challenge, figure it out, and go on to the next. My work family is a wonderful group of smart, caring, and hardworking group of women.”

Rhonda: “I could not imagine working anywhere else but here! Dr. Grossfeld makes sure her office staff is happy. She has shown her appreciation by taking us on shopping trips for purses, shoes, etc. It is always fun hanging out with co-workers outside of the office!”
