PROFESSIONAL PHILOSOPHY...

     “I believe that physical therapists and patients need to work together in order to effectively return a patient to their prior level of functioning. I strive to learn daily from my patients and also by attending continuing education classes. I am absolutely committed to clinical excellence by providing the highest care possible in the most efficient manner. ”
 

PATIENT CARE PHILOSOPHY...

     “My philosophy is being able to provide all of my patients with personal one on one attention. I believe that the patient is a person and not a diagnosis. Upon completion of the initial evaluation, I encourage active participation from my patients to help them be an integral part of their healing process. I feel that it is very important to provide continuity of care in order to regularly assess progress and advance treatment as indicated. I enjoy having a therapist-patient relationship that involves working together while having a good time .”
