Interests
Clinically, Hannah has special interest in treating patients with lower extremity issues, especially after ACL injuries and surgery recovery. Outside of the clinic, she enjoys all things outdoors including snowboarding, camping, and hiking with her dog, Maya, and traveling.
Treatment Philosophy
