Amber’s Patient Philosophy:
“I believe in the importance of empathy and compassion to effectively create dynamic evidence-based interventions with her patients.”
She is very helpful in treating my hand and elbow wounds pain because of her gentleness. Thank you.
Awesome therapist. She has been so helpful.
Professional and wonderful
I couldn’t move my hand or my wrist from an accident and she started out slow slowly and professionally moving forward to where I can do anything today! I am most grateful!
Clearly explains everything she is doing
Very good
Very knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and professional.
A plus to your facility! Takes her job seriously.
I have had an excellent experience with Amber! She is professional, knowledgeable, and really took the time to understand my specific needs. The treatment plan was tailored to help me recover quickly, and I felt supported every step of the way. I’m already seeing great improvements, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of hand therapy.
Delightful to deal with.
