Superior Customer Service
I am the only person patients deal with from start to finish. There are no double bookings, assistants, aides, appointments with other clinicians, or admininstrative staff. Appointments are easy to schedule, and convenient appointment times are available. Correspondence is replied to in a timely manner. I can be reached easily via phone and email. There are no waiting rooms and no hidden costs. My goal is to reach your goals as efficiently as possible, providing reliable, ethical care and exceptional customer service. |
Movement and Education Focus
My main focus is teaching patients how to manage their own health in order to minimize the need for medical care in both the short and long term. Orthopedic management typically entails regularly performing specific exercises as well as making any necessary postural modifications. Manual therapy is employed when necessary. I instruct patients how to measure the status of their improvement as well as monitor for and prevent recurrence. I prioritize movement and education over passive modalities due to better overall outcomes. |
Orthopedic Expertise
In addition to my Ivy League bachelor's and top-ranked doctorate, I have extensive post-doctoral advanced training in diagnosing and treating orthopedic pathology. Patients often see results which "standard" physical therapy and other types of care failed to achieve. In many instances, the diagnosis and treatment I provide prevent the use of unnecessary - as well as costly and riskier - imaging, injections, medications, and surgeries. The rough average of necessary visits is six, though it ranges from 1-10, very rarely exceeding 10 visits. |
