Accepting new patients.

Spinal cord injury medicine was my introduction to the beauty of the practice of physiatry. When people sustain a life-changing event, physiatrists are uniquely positioned to help them find new meaning and embrace their lives. The opportunity to partner closely with people in their recovery and build long-lasting relationships is extremely rewarding.
