"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."

“Through my experiences, I have learned that each patient is an individual and deserves attention to meet their own specific needs. I am committed to providing my patients with the highest quality of care by employing the latest techniques and by assisting them in their recovery process. While I believe my role as a Physical Therapist is pivotal in the patient’s recovery, I understand that true successful outcomes are dependent on empowering the patient through education so they can take an active role in their recovery.”

“My philosophy is to get the patient better in a timely manner by providing individualized care and patient education. I place an emphasis on educating the patient on their medical condition because I feel that education serves to inform the patient about the consequences of their condition and in turn, what they can do to best help themselves get better. Then with the education and proper treatment, we can work together as a team to achieve their functional goals and prevent recurrences."
