The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery prides itself on how our employees embody the mission and vision of UAB. Oftentimes, our employees "go the extra mile" to for their patients and colleagues. Below are many of our Ortho GEMs.
May
Dominique Square-McCray
"She is so deserving of Orthopaedic GEM, because she always inspires, and reward her employees verbally for great work and dedication to all task provided within the department. She set the tone for the entire office by being an excellent leader and an expert in helping us to become experts in our roles. She encourages team bonding, and always goes above and beyond for patients, nurses, doctors, and all her staff, no matter what!"

Kaitlin Simon
"Kaitlin is always willing to help her co-workers, no matter how busy we may be. And she always makes sure our patients are well taken care of by always going above the call of duty to recover every document necessary to secure referrals and appointments. .... I just love to hear her say, 'It's a great day in Orthopedics. How may I help you, Love?'"

Axel Lindstrom, OT
"Axel is a very hard worker who is committed to providing excellent care to his patients. He is always willing to help his teammates, no matter the task. Even when short-staffed in the cast room, he not only ensures every patient is well taken care of, but he does so while maintaining a positive attitude. Axel is a valued teammate, and we are so lucky to have him in Ortho!"

Tasha Burrell, CMA
"Tasha joined us in October and has quickly become a valued teammate. She easily assimilated into Sports Medicine and can be depended on to provide excellent, efficient care to our patients. She is a hard worker and takes on some of our busiest clinics with grace and ease. She has volunteered multiple times to help cover at our St. Vincent's 119 clinic and is helping train their new CCMA. We are so thankful she joined our team!"
