“Several months ago, I experienced firsthand what most patients have to endure. I separated my shoulder in a sports accident and had to see an orthopedic surgeon and physical therapy/rehab specialists.
“It was like going through a mill – very impersonal, inconvenient and indifferent. I decided then that my patients would have a dramatically different experience and better results. That’s why REHABILITY is about respecting people’s time and humanity. It’s about making the patient feel comfortable, valued and cared for. It’s about doing everything possible to help you feel better faster.”

““I can honestly say that I love my job. Not only do I get the opportunity to impact a patient's life on a daily basis but I get to use my hands and my knowledge of the human body and the rehabilitation process to guide me. I thrive on educating and guiding my clients back to heath, work, and play. My reward is always when a client doesn’t need me anymore, I have done my job.

I became interested in physical therapy while rehabbing a series of orthopedic injuries during high school soccer and collegiate intramurals. Because of those experiences I appreciate the ability to assist others through their rehab, understanding the mental, emotional, and physical issues concerned."

“For me, being a doctor is all about making positive changes in people’s lives.
I got turned onto Chiropractic as a high school student. I had hurt my back playing baseball and went to a regular doctor. He gave me muscle relaxers for the pain but that was about it. On a friend’s recommendation, I went to a local chiropractor and was amazed at the results and the experience. I asked a lot of questions and by the time I was in college I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others."
