As a specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (Physiatry), I have a special interest in treating patients who are suffering from stroke, spinal cord injury and brain injury. I also work in the wound clinic and enjoy working with a team to heal patients' open skin areas. I went into medicine because I enjoyed science and interacting with people. I chose the field of physiatry because I liked neurology but wanted to care for the whole person. Physiatry was an interesting mix of both. I am board certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Outside of medicine, I am married and the mother of four children. For recreation I enjoy bicycling, downhill skiing, and gardening."
