Physical Therapist
I am currently treating patients at our Dublin location. I have experience in Sports Medicine Rehabilitation with special interest in foot and ankle reconstruction, shoulder disorders and helping patients realize their functional potential. I enjoy implementation of current research into treatment protocols to optimize patient outcomes for all orthopedic diagnoses from head to toe. I also perform dry needling, which can be beneficial for patients with musculoskeletal and pain disorders. Since becoming board certified in general orthopedics in 2017, I consistently mentor future physical therapists, which allows for professional growth and continuing education. One of the most important things for patients to know is that I am committed to the continuum of well-being even after discharge from a particular episode of care.
When not in the clinic, I enjoy cycling and hiking with my family, smooth jazz, landscaping, dad jokes and taking on home improvement projects.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
