About
About the Provider
I chose the medical field, particularly orthopedics, as I genuinely felt that I could make a difference in patient’s lives. The relationships I’ve developed with each patient have brought joy, gratitude and purpose – their stories stick with me. My number one priority is listening to each patient to truly understand the problem at hand, as clear communication can make all the difference. I focus on listening carefully, explaining details in plain language and working as part of a team to provide safe, evidence-based care tailored to each patient’s goals.

We discussed about using gel on my needs. I brought up this topic. I already have documentation of the request to my insurance to cover the gel. I really like everything this office provides their patients.

This may seem odd, but I had the sense that Jalyn has a military background. And that's a good thing. She was "in charge" . My son is retired U S Navy. I felt safe like i do around him.
