I believe there is a divine relationship between a medical clinician and their patient, and sadly I believe this relationship has decayed due to the way medical patients are seen today. Significant changes within healthcare policy have forced many physical therapists to schedule more patients per day and spend less 1-on-1 time during each patient visit. Many physical therapists have employed physical therapy assistants/aides to further increase their efficiency, warranting an increase in profits in a defeated healthcare system. We have lost sight of what is most important - the patient’s experience.

I have a different ideology about how each patient encounter should be. When you schedule an appointment to see me, you actually see me. As a doctor of physical therapy, I will sit down with each patient and take their history, perform a thorough initial evaluation, and curate a plan of care specific to each patient’s goals to assist them in returning to full, optimal health. I will explain not only why you are experiencing certain aches and pains but also where the root of the issue is coming from. If you decide to continue your physical therapy journey with me, you will have my direct number to call or text me at any time. No answering service, no middleman, always me. This is the type of experience I want every patient to have.

Our healthcare policies will continue to change in many ways for years to come, but that will not change how my patients are seen. My priorities as a doctor of physical therapy will always be centered around patient care and experience. I look forward to meeting you!
