Katie’s Patient Philosophy:
I individualize treatment for each patient based on their values and goals in order to help them get back to doing what they love.

I showed up early 20 minutes early so the paperwork would not slow down the appointment. It was a simple meeting. I just did not like starting 15 to 20minutes late, just hanging out in the front lobby.
She is very patient.
Katie is always kind and understanding. She knows how to help with physical strains and pains. You can always know that you are in good hands with Katie. If my insurance would pay for more PT, l would see Katie daily for relief. Katie is the best therapist l have had.
