“Healthcare, especially physical therapy, provides the opportunity to affect people's lives by improving their ability to enjoy the things they desire to do. I enjoy the intricate anatomy and detail of the upper extremity. I believe in delivering quality, safe and reliable care. It should include a strong patient education component, compassionate treatment and sufficient time for one-on-one instruction and care.

Everyone responds to treatments differently and programs must be tailored to the individual. I genuinely care about my patients' wellbeing. To me, nothing is better than working with patients to improve their quality of life and achieve their goals. Without proper use of your hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders, life is very limited. My mission is to remove your pain and restore your functional abilities as quickly and safely as possible.”
