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.

Aleksa was able to understand my jiberish and relay what I was trying to say in medical terms. Then explaining it so I was able to understand and comprehend what was really going on and what is needed to be done at home or in general to better my chance of the best recovery possible. Great attitude, seems to really care. When I am there she pays attention to my needs and I feel like I really got help and left with more knolage on my issues, that I can actually use to help myself.
She is so caring and wants the best for your recovery! Shows you just what you need to do to help the process! If she were your PT you couldn’t go wrong
