QUALITY PATIENT CARE...
"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."

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.
