Job description

We are hiring two hand-focused occupational therapists at two of our four Orange County locations. Both roles offer clinically varied caseloads, referrals from hand and orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and pain management physicians, and a practice focused exclusively on hand and upper extremity rehab.
