Dr. Charlotte is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and her role is to evaluate and treat patients to improve movement, reduce pain, and restore functional independence. She works with a wide range of populations—including neurological, geriatric, balance and fall-risk patients, general orthopedics, and post-surgical cases—and she focuses on creating individualized, evidence-based treatment plans that support each patient’s functional goals.
Dr. Charlotte loves working here because of the environment. She loves how friendly and caring everyone is, and how much everyone values and prioritizes the care of the patient over any other factor.
Conditions Dr. Charlotte Enjoys Treating
Neuro (Parkinson’s, strokes), geriatrics general conditioning / balance and fall risk, post-op conditions, and really any other condition!
Dr. Charlotte wants to fix fear-driven avoidance of movement. This can impact patients significantly if they are limiting their participation in social or physical events solely due to pain. She wants to improve their pain, of course, but she also wants to help patients understand that with certain modifications she can also help to change their mindsets to continue participating in what they love. She wants to educate them on this so their conditions don’t become chronic and impact them even further.
Outside Of Work
Dr. Charlotte loves being outside! She just moved to North Carolina, so she has been enjoying visiting the beach, finding new parks to hike through, and exploring different restaurants and flea markets around the area!
