As a lifelong athlete with countless injuries over the years, I developed a sincere passion in restoring patients to their baseline function and getting them back to their daily activities or athletic endeavors as soon as possible. As a Physiatrist, a doctor of function, I take great pride in approaching each patient holistically in order to fully understand their symptoms and develop the best treatment plan possible. I believe the doctor-patient relationship should be approached with an open line of communication in a team-oriented manner, and also that education is the key to patients being better able to better understand and take ownership of their care.
