We help our patients take control of their overall health and well-being. We take the time to properly diagnose our patient's conditions, understand their ailments and explain the different options available to them. By evaluating the impact of a condition of the whole person - medically, socially, emotionally and vocationally.

Sometimes in life after an accident injuring the spinal cord, a brain tumor, a sports injury or a stroke, we get sent back to "Go." And the things we've always taken for granted like breathing, walking, eating and taking care of ourselves become seemingly insurmountable tasks. Dealing effectively with these medical challenges involves the expertise of physiatrists.
Physicians who specialize in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation are called "physiatrists". Physiatrists are specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of patients of all ages in three major areas of medical care. These include sports and/or work injuries to degenerative conditions as common as arthritis or low back pain.
