Mary A. Martin, OTR/L

 Occupational Therapist

Mary's role in PHOENIX Rehabilitation and Health Services, Inc. began in August 1999. Mary resides in Scottdale with her husband Denny, also an Occupational Therapist, and her two children, Jack and Nicole. She and her husband play an active role in their children's lives and have recently become Den Leaders for the local Cub Scout Troop. In addition, Mary enjoys running, walking, biking and gardening.

"I have specialized in the treatment of hand, wrist, and elbow injuries for over 10 years. I attend continuing education courses on a regular basis to keep updated on new techniques and procedures. The types of injuries to the hand, wrist, and elbow that I have treated are inclusive of but not limited to fractures, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendon lacerations, nerve damage, crush injuries, infections, arthritis, wound care, and joint replacements. Treatment may be conservative in effort in order to prevent surgical intervention or post-surgical rehab."

"Every patient's treatment plan is individualized depending on his or her diagnosis and the personal needs required of his or her daily activities. My primary goal for each patient is to maximize healing and functional performance."

Sherri Fredlock, M.S., CCC-SLP

Speech Pathologist

Sherri joined the PHOENIX Rehabilitation and Health Services team in February 2006 to provide speech therapy service in the Scottdale and Greensburg outpatient facilities. Outside of the office, Sherri enjoys spending time with family and friends, being outdoors and reading. Sherri lives in West Newton, PA with her husband, Chris and two daughters, Jocelyn and Sara.

“To me, this means that every patient I treat is entitled to an individualized treatment plan that focuses on their own needs and goals. To achieve this, I am committed to excelling in current treatment methods and always expanding my knowledge based and expertise with the newest innovations in speech, language and swallowing. As part of an individualized plan, I believe that it is absolutely necessary to educate family and care givers on treatment methods so that the patient will continue to master their skills outside of the clinic environment and to achieve their maximum potential.”
