About

A native of La Plata, Susan is proud to be able to work with and serve the people of the Southern Maryland community. As the daughter of a nurse she was raised with an understanding of healthcare from an insider’s perspective. This balanced well with the influence from her father,  an attorney, who helped her see the importance of being an advocate for those who need it.  Susan grew up trying to keep up with her 4 older brothers and was active in softball, basketball, and volleyball. Her interest in sports led to her study in Kinesiology at the University of Maryland, College Park and then on to earn a Master and a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Maryland, Baltimore. Susan began her career at Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore and from there she took an interest in outpatient orthopedics and sports medicine.
​
​In almost 20 years as a PT Susan has come to realize that valuing her patient’s time and investment is key to their success. She feels time and attention from the healthcare provider helps patients stay vested in taking care of themselves.  Her passion is helping people develop a better understanding of how their bodies move and the need for constant self-care through healthy living and exercise.
