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.
