Patty has a special interest in neuro-degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s Disease. She received her Master’s degree from the University of Florida in Neuro-Dysfunction, as well as a Certificate in Gerontology and has spent the majority of her career at the MS Comprehensive Care Center in Orlando, Florida. In 2019, she made the leap to Steamboat Springs to bring neuro-rehab services to the area. She is a certified Assistive Technology Practitioner with expertise in orthotics, wheelchair prescriptions and home assessments. Patty serves the community and the profession by leading a local MS Self Help Group and offering her experience to multiple boards and committees for the Consortium of MS Centers and the National MS Society. She recently earned the distinction as a Rehabilitation Partner in MS Care through the National MS Society.

Her time outside of the clinic is spent hiking, snow shoeing, cross country skiing and enjoying time with family that live in the area.
