I'm the CEO and founder of Bickert's Orthotics & Prosthetics. I am also an American Board Certified Prosthetist. I received my education at Northwestern University Prosthetics-Orthotics Center and have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry and Physics Education.
During my professional career, I have worked with several different companies which have enabled me to experience all facets of the prosthetic and orthotics profession. I provide educational in-services to many hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, and universities.
I've designed prostheses for patients of all ages and levels of limb loss including congenital amputees, inter-scapular thoracic, hip disarticulation, below the knee, above the knee, and numerous bilaterals. I enjoy spending time with my wife and two daughters and coaching or watching them play soccer.
I have had the privilege to work with many patients over the years, one of which even took me on the trip of a lifetime to Tanzania, Africa. I climbed alongside her and provided prosthetic support while she accomplished her lifelong goad of summiting Mount Kilimanjaro. It was incredibly inspiring to see a patient literally climb mountains, overcome obstacles and obtain her goals. This experience with my friend and patient is the personification of why I am in this field and why I am willing to go the extra mile. I find great joy in helping others reach their goals and no matter how grand or how small, I take pride in every "mountain" that is climbed.
I also enjoy all sports and played college soccer. Most important to me however, is my family including my wife and four kids.
I got into the O and P profession because it is the perfect mix between engineering, art and medicine. I love getting to connect with patients every day. Each patient has a unique journey, and it is incredible for me to be a small part of their story moving forward. I also enjoy being able to work with kids on a regular basis!
I received a Master of Prosthetics-Orthotics from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science at the University of Mississippi. When I'm not working I'm typically playing volleyball, spending time with family, or watching the Ole Miss Rebels.
I have always felt blessed to help others in reaching whatever goals they are striving to achieve. I have worked in manufacturing facilities most of my career and each has been rewarding in different ways.
By joining Bickert's Orthotics & Prosthetics, I get to see the strength and determination of patients that amazes me each day. I enjoy reading, organizing, photography, and helping others. My true joy is being with my wonderful husband and two beautiful children.
My name is Carlyn Grimes. I recently relocated from South Texas with my husband and two sons. Although different from the coastal life, Mississippi has been a blessing to us. We moved here to be closer to family, and luckily, Bickert's O&P is like an extention of my own. I am grateful for all those we get to help and watch the journey they take to reach their goals.
I am the office administrator of the Corinth location. I love to learn new things, painting, help people, making puns, and making other laugh. A smile is the best source of achievement for me.
My name is Paula Furniss. I am the Office Administrator in the Oxford location. I am blessed to be able to work with such a great group of people. We take pride in what we do at Bickert’s. I have been in the medical field for 15+ years and have an Associate of Arts degree from ICC in Tupelo. I have always felt the front desk was the heart and soul of any company, because they are the first face you see and the last before you leave. I am married to a wonderful husband and we have four children. We love the outdoors.
