“Every patient comes to the doctor with a unique problem. As a physiatrist specializing in musculoskeletal injuries, my philosophy is to listen to and evaluate patients for their specific ailment, develop a diagnosis and provide individual care to meet their needs. I focus not only on taking care of a patient’s pain but rehabilitating beyond the resolution of symptoms to prevent future recurrence and facilitate an active healthy lifestyle.”

We are here for you at DSSP. We continue to offer Telehealth visits in addition to in-office appointments for evaluation and management of your pain complaints.

If you are sick, at-risk, or live with an at-risk individual, we encourage you to wear a mask. Additionally, if any patient prefers their provider to wear a mask, we will gladly continue wearing our masks during your in-person appointment.
