Patients Seen: Adolescents and Adults

As I grow old­er, I under­stand the impor­tance of health and the abil­i­ty to per­form dai­ly tasks. Many of us take this vital abil­i­ty for grant­ed before an injury occurs. My duty is to col­lab­o­rate with patients, in order to cre­ate func­tion­al and per­son­al­ized goals to regain this abil­i­ty and improve qual­i­ty of life. I uti­lize evi­dence-based tech­niques dur­ing my treat­ments that increase the chance of meet­ing such patient goals. I cre­ate an affa­ble envi­ron­ment that will allow for flu­id com­mu­ni­ca­tion and the acknowl­edg­ment of patient con­cerns. Ulti­mate­ly, I work with the patient to adapt my treat­ment and cre­ate an effec­tive and time­ly plan of care.
