Kurt Wilhelm, MD
“A guiding principle at the core of my personal rehabilitation journey and professional development is the fundamental belief in the human body’s inherent capability to heal itself. As a Physiatrist, my responsibility is to both nurture and maximize this potential through careful selection of conservative treatments and interventional procedures. The rehabilitation process is rarely linear; however, when the emphasis is placed on maximizing your functional abilities, great outcomes will follow.”
