Approach to Care
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is a field dedicated not just to the health of patients, but to improving their quality of life. My priority is providing my patients with the tools they need to be able to safely and painlessly pursue what makes them happy. Rehabilitation Medicine inherently employs a humanistic approach to patient care. Patients arrive having just suffered from significantly debilitating injuries, accidents, or illnesses. What I enjoy most about the field is the way that I, as the physiatrist, can guide my patients through forming an understanding of their deficits and stimulating the motivation to form a positive attitude and approach towards their rehabilitation, finally achieving their goals of increased functional capacity.
