What is a Physiatrist?
Physiatrists specialize in restoring and maximizing function no matter your stage of life or needs, working with all ages and abilities. We are experts in prevention and management of chronic conditions that impact daily life such as cancer care, brain and spinal cord injury, amputations, neurological conditions such as stroke, MS, Parkinson’s, ALS, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, etc. and any sort of acute or chronic pain such as sports injuries, back pain, fibromyalgia, etc!
I am a internationally recognized expert in pain management and published researcher in chronic pain. 
As one who has healed from a life threatening car accident, worked every kind of job imaginable to pay for school (including wrangling), and completed challenging high altitude endurance races, my training and experience will broadly serve our community.
