The most important part of my job is getting to know my patients, understanding their personal goals, and tailoring the treatment plan to return the person to function as efficiently as possible. I take pride in providing high-quality treatment in a comfortable environment. I place great importance on education so the patient is able to independently maintain a healthy and comfortable lifestyle.
