“What sets Physiatry apart from other specialties is the singular focus on enhancing our patients’ life enjoyment, independence, and dignity. Using this philosophy, I place the highest importance on understanding each patient’s unique background. I work with my patients as a team to create a treatment plan using shared goals and values, involving everything from exercise as medicine to targeted injections to break people free from the cycle of pain. I hope to promote positive, sustainable lifestyle changes that directly address the source of pain, and to maximize life satisfaction for each of my patients.”
