“I’ve always been certain of three things: One, I wanted to be in healthcare; two, I wanted to open my own facility; and three, I wanted to take care of people, especially people with physical wellness needs. Today, as the founder/owner of the Joint & Spine Center, I have the joy of providing my patients with conservative care for musculoskeletal conditions. I’m fulfilling my dream of making a difference in people’s lives.”
