Geof Tibbs, CO, CPA
Cranial Remolding Specialist
Geof possesses the cranial remolding knowledge and expertise that parents and providers can trust. He has nearly a decade of cranial experience and has treated over 1500 patients. Conditions treated include synostotic plagiocephaly of varied presentation and deformational plagiocephaly and brachycephaly. Geof works with each patient to provide an appropriate treatment plan based on patient age, presentation, referral source expectation, and family feedback. This sometimes means that no helmet is recommended or necessary for appropriate correction of the deformational head shape. Geof is also an advocate of home-based therapies to correct the head shape, in conjunction with and/or instead of treatment with a helmet, including repositioning programs, physical therapy, chiropractic care, and use of the Perfect Noggin sleep positioning system. Outside of the office, Geof enjoys spending his free time with his family- Wife Jessy, twin sons Arlo and Bodie, and dogs Lola and Kira.

Owner
A Winston Salem native, Cynthia Tierney started working in healthcare in 1991 with an administrative position for The Custom Source, Inc, a family owned orthotics and prosthetics company. With a background in computers, Tierney found ways to automate patient billing and streamline the ordering process. She became proficient as a billing specialist and worked in claims for five years. “Once I realized I would rather work directly with a patient than with an insurance company, I set my sights on becoming a Certified Orthotist,” says Tierney when asked about why she became an Orthotist. As a certified practitioner, she has found her greatest professional joy – helping people by creating and providing custom orthotic and prosthetic devices, designed especially for the patient’s individual need. In 2015, she decided to continue her career in O&P by opening Tierney Orthotics and Prosthetics Inc.
