PROFESSIONAL PHILOSOPHY...
"I am committed to providing the highest quality of care for each patient in an effort to return each
individual to his or her maximum functional capacity, whether at work, home or during recreational and
sporting activities. I intend to maintain the pursuit of clinic excellence through continuing education
course work, participating in professional organizations and obtaining advanced clinical certification
in an effort to provide sound treatment rationale in a
patient-oriented framework. I pledge to each
patient to create a rehabilitation environment that will empower each individual to take an active role
in his or her care in order to ultimately obtain set goals."
PATIENT CARE PHILOSOPHY...
"I firmly believe the best way to return each patient to his or her prior level of function is by
developing a sound treatment rationale, understood by each
patient, that will allow the patient to take
an active role in his or her care. Implementing manual techniques in the early phase or rehabilitation
and progressing to patient-centered treatment programs that can easily be continued at home once a patient's
goals have been achieved will provide a continuum of care after discharge as well as prevent recurrence.
Providing patient education throughout the rehab experience and staying in tune with each individual's needs
will allow me to maximize each patient's rehabilitation potential."

PROFESSIONAL PHILOSOPHY...
“I believe that the highest quality of care should be provided to every patient that enters our facility. I plan on doing so
by attending continuing education courses and participating in professional organizations. Using the knowledge I gain from
these courses I will be able to develop a creative treatment plan for each individual patient. This will allow them to get back
to their maximum functional capacity.”
PATIENT CARE PHILOSOPHY...
“Communication between the patient and therapist is key to the development of a successful treatment plan. Without communication
the therapist will have a difficult time developing a treatment plan that is tailored to that patient’s individual needs. Throughout
the patients rehabilitation process I will implement manual techniques, patient education as well as a home exercise program, which
can be continued following the patient’s rehab experience.”
