Describe the essence of what you do in your role at One Accord PT?

The essence of my role at One Accord PT is in facilitating learning and growth in both patients and staff members.  As a therapist I feel it is important to hear my patient’s story/experience, ask follow-up questions for clarity, perform a thorough physical examination and finally provide solutions that result in a successful outcome for the patient (resolution of pain, improved range of motion, improved strength, increased knowledge of their condition and access to supporting materials/tools).  As a clinical mentor in A.T.STILL University’s orthopedic residency program, I spend 4 days a week working with our clinical experts on honing their critical thinking and decision-making skills so that our patient’s at OAPT receive the best possible care and service.

What are some of your personal interests, outside of work?

I love spending time with my wife and dog outdoors hiking, biking and especially rock climbing.  I have been an athlete all my life and I love to be on the soccer field.  If I have to be inside I like cooking, eating ice cream, and reading.

What are some things you believe in?  What is your favorite quote or words of wisdom?

I believe that the search for Truth is of the utmost importance.  My search has led me to conclude that the most plausible explanation of Truth is found in the God of the Bible.  I believe in making my faith and family a priority over all other things.  I believe in serving and empowering my patients on their road to recovery. 

I believe the human body is capable of SO MUCH MORE than we give it credit for:  I believe that I can help people MASTER PAIN AND RETURN TO NORMAL LIFE!

What do you like most about caring for patients?
