Biography:
Interest in athletics and the human body as well as the potential to spend one-on-one time with patients assisting in improving their lives lead me on this career pathway. I hired on with HealthQuest in 2001 in the Lake Orion office. This proved to be the proper fit. I moved into the community in 2005 where we currently reside.
My passion lies with improving the functional lives of my patients. I have attended over thirty continuing education courses over the past thirteen years and feel this is crucial to providing quality care. I am an avid reader of current literature and research studies pertaining to physical therapy and orthopedic surgery. I also feel that it is incumbent upon us to provide mentorship for our students, young therapists, and our community members. |
