"Moving you toward independence…
I believe physical therapy is not just about “getting better” but thoroughly teaching patients about their problems so they can more effectively learn ways to prevent future injury and independently manage them if they happen to recur. Patients know all of the clicks, pops and snaps in their bodies better than we do. My goal is to teach each of my patients specifically why they occur, what caused them and what they can do about them in the future."

"Quality patient care delivered to everyone who walks through the door is my number one priority. I promise to give you personal, individualized treatment specific to your diagnosis. I expect you to contribute significantly to the rehab process not just by showing up to your appointments but also letting me help you as much as possible by being open, honest and determined."

"All clients, despite their disability, should be engaged in a comprehensive, quality rehabilitation program.  Occupational therapy addresses clients' functional concerns while considering all aspects of their environment, psychosocial, physical, social, and spiritual needs."

"I believe client-centered, hands-on care is vital during the rehabilitation process.  Clients should expect one-on-one attention from a team that is highly qualified to deliver a comprehensive set of services in an effective, goal-directed manner."
