Why should someone choose you to care for their health
My experience along with a focus on helping my patients reach their physical therapy goals.

What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them? 
My patients should expect evidence-based, hands-on treatment and education on their diagnosis and prevention. I expect my patients to attend all of their sessions and follow through with exercises and recommendations given as a home program.

How do you spend your valuable personal time when you’re not caring for patients? 
I love the outdoors! Boating, waterskiing, hiking, biking and skiing.

Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?
I enjoy the challenge and dynamic nature of orthopedics. I am truly rewarded when I can enable a patient to resume doing an activity they love whether it is a sport or playing with their grandchildren.
