Summary

  • Uniquely qualified as the only physician in the nation board certified in Brain Injury Medicine (BIM), Spinal Cord Injury Medicine (SCI), Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R), and a Certified Physician Executive. Visionary executive physician with a long track record of proactive leadership and excellent clinical care for pediatric through geriatric patients across the whole continuum of rehabilitation care. My focus and mission driven commitment has been to improve the breadth and quality of healthcare for persons with disabilities. Under my effective leadership, this goal was realized through strategic, multi-organizational collaborations and the creation of innovative programs that simultaneously achieved top national rankings while positively impacting both coworkers and patients. In 2017, selected by coworkers to receive the singular ICON Award for the employee who best exemplifies the values of dignity, justice, excellence, service, and stewardship. Patients appreciate my specialized care with satisfaction scores consistently above 95th percentile and outcomes that typically exceed national benchmarks.

    I serve my patients with the utmost integrity, constantly translating research into novel solutions to maximize their functional outcomes, regardless of their ethnicity or socioeconomic status in urban and rural communities.
