My Philosophy

Hands are the gateway through which people interact with their world - be it at home, work, sports, or playing musical instruments. I chose hand therapy as a career because I find it to be the most rewarding specialty of rehab – to assist patients in reclaiming their ability to function, and lead meaningful lives.
