Physiatrists are uniquely trained in both the musculoskeletal and neurologic systems, and I apply this expertise to develop personalized treatment plans for my patients. I believe that no treatment can be truly effective without first identifying the root cause of the condition. My goal is to uncover these underlying factors while offering a comprehensive range of therapeutic options to support each patient’s success.
