Biography

Kailey is dedicated to providing evidenced informed, patient-centered care for hand and upper extremity surgeries, challenges and conditions. She believes every person, injury and situation is unique and commits herself to develop a plan of care to best fit your needs. She is highly involved in the American Society of Hand Therapists with a focus on developing and leading students to ensure the growth of the profession. She feels strongly about understanding the importance of physical and mental wellness to improve overall engagement in the things we want, need, and love to do, including but not limited to, getting back to your sport or to knitting your grandchild's blanket. Outside of her love of upper extremity rehabilitation, she could be found hiking, camping in her teardrop camper (named Steve), exercising, paddle boarding, kayaking, catching some live music, traveling, and trying something new. She loves adventures with her partner, dog (Frankie), and friends.
