Why am I a physical therapist?

I can’t imagine a more rewarding career. I believe the human body is the most incredible creation, and to have the privilege to work with people is a true blessing. I think patients will enjoy my positive attitude.

Continuing education commitment:

I enjoy staying up to date on the latest research to help guide evidence based treatments. We have only scratched the surface on figuring out how the human body works, and I have a passion to providing the highest quality care.

Professional and community activities:

I have a diverse background in manual therapy, functional and/or sport specific therapeutic exercise which not only challenges me, but my patients as well.

I am very active in my church and enjoy watching and volunteering at community high school activities. My wife and I have also done the Walt Disney marathon to raise money for the Leukemia Society’s Team in Training.

Personal interests:

I love spending time hiking, walking, and running with my wife and 2 golden retrievers. I also enjoy playing racquetball and watching movies. My wife and I are expecting our first child in August, 2003.

What patients have said:

-"Jeff is really knowledgeable and friendly. I feel great."

-"Jeff is very patient. I have had many therapists and Jeff was one of the best."
