Bio

Dr. Osier realized her desire to become an orthopedic physician while working as a physical therapist. When a promotion to supervisor left her with less patient interaction, she knew her next step was to earn her medical degree in order to return to close patient care. Dr. Osier receives a great deal of gratification from helping patients return to their normal daily activities. Dr. Osier enjoys spending time with her husband and her two sons. She is also an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys gardening, golf and boating.
