Care Philosophy: For all patients, regardless of age or background, I aim to learn about their functional goals and meet them where they are in their journey toward recovery. I like to use a multi-modal approach to managing the pain and limitations from their injury by utilizing exercise as medicine, ultrasound or spinal injections, bracing/orthotics, and pharmacology to help them heal. Also, staying on top of cutting-edge technologies that patients seek is important and something we aim to offer when a new treatment shows promise. My staff and I work together as a team to ensure all patients are happy with the care they receive. Accepted Health Plan information is only as accurate as the most current information submitted. Prior to your appointment, it is advisable to verify with a physician office that they are still a participating provider.

Care Philosophy: For my entire career, I've looked for training opportunities that span across disciplines so I can have the perspective to deal with complex conditions. In neuromuscular cases, there is a bigger story than can be explained by a single subspecialty. If you or your child has a condition like cerebral palsy, arthrogryposis, brachial plexus, or another similar neuromuscular problem, I would like to use what I know about neurorehabilitation, nerves, and orthopaedic surgery to help him or her function better.
