In my 20 years as a physical therapist, I’ve had the opportunity to deliver high quality care to 12-14 patients a day.Managing patient care with the right balance of empathy and pragmatism can be a delicate matter, but the outcome of quality patient care is worth the time and effort.Collaborating with patients and healthcare providers, as well as helping patients navigate the healthcare system to achieve optimal care are some of the duties I love most as a physical therapist. Using these skills in my practice has been very rewarding and I’m excited about optimizing the patient’s recovery journey.
