“I believe it is my responsibility to provide quality, individualized care to each patient that comes into our facility. This begins as a commitment to actively seek the latest research and manual techniques in order to enhance my ability to provide the most effective patient care available. Care must also be provide in a kind, compassionate, professional environment that encourages and challenges each individual.”

PATIENT CARE PHILOSOPHY...

“I believe that being a good listener is essential for all healthcare providers. I strongly encourage each patient to be an active participant in their rehabilitation process. Through manual skills, patient education, therapeutic exercise and ongoing communication between the patient, therapist and physician, we can achieve maximum potential in a timely manner.”

"I am committed to clinical excellence by the highest quality care in a professional, friendly and caring atmosphere. With the changes in health care, I also understand the need to provide the quality services in a timely and cost efficient manner. I have practiced as a physical therapist in various settings including sports medicine, outpatient orthopedics, geriatric rehabilitation, acute care, skilled nursing and long term care, as well as, home health. These experiences allow me the ability to handle patients with a variety of diagnoses."

"My philosophy is being able to provide my patients with one-on-one individualized attention. I feel one of the most important aspects of treatment is being able to provide continuity of care. In addition to being able to develop a personal rapport with my patients, it also allows me the ability to educate my patients regarding their diagnosis and help them understand the basis of their problem. Then, we can work together to achieve realistic functional goals. Most importantly, once the patient is better, education serves to maintain gains made during treatment and prevent reoccurrence."
