A Personal Approach to
Care
Our philosophy is to let the patient be our guide, helping our skilled specialists design an individualized treatment plan to meet the patient’s specific needs and goals. Each patient is cared for by an interdisciplinary treatment team under the direction of a physician specializing in orthopedic rehabilitation. Working collaboratively towards the patient’s goals, the team consists of rehabilitation nurses, physical and occupational therapists, case managers and other professionals. This dedicated team of clinicians specialize in orthopedics and holds certifications and specialties in orthopedic rehabilitation. Family members are encouraged to participate in the rehabilitation process.
