Aleksa’s approach to patient care focuses on treating the whole person, not just the injury. She strives to help patients regain the ability to perform daily tasks and return to activities they enjoy, making life both functional and meaningful.
Her inspiration for pursuing hand therapy began while volunteering at an outpatient clinic, where she observed the impact a certified hand therapist could have. From that moment, she knew she wanted to help individuals recover and thrive in their daily lives.
Outside of work, Aleksa is active and adventurous—she enjoys skiing, weightlifting, hiking, running, swimming, and spending time with her family. A lifelong competitive swimmer, she is also an enthusiastic Buffalo Bills fan.

Excellent care. Good listener. I think I ask stupid questions. I get answered everything I ask.
Aleksa was very sweet, and extra careful when moving my hand from the black brace. She worked on the brace so it felt better! Really caring and instructed me on how to care for my hand, movement and things to help with the healing part,
