Q&A with Carey
Why did you become a physical therapist?
I have always been interested in the medical field and how the human body functions. In addition, I have always been very active, and I really enjoy people. PT was the perfect combination of all the above.
What can patients expect when they see you in the clinic?
Patients can expect a provider who wants to truly understand who they are and what their goals are. I will be compassionate yet analytical to help identify the cause and how to best treat their concerns.
When you’re not working, what do you like to do for fun?
I like to spend time with my family, exercise, cook, and travel.
What are your favorite ways of staying healthy?
I try to stay healthy by exercising, eating “fairly” healthy, and take quiet time for myself as I am able.

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A marine biologist
What is your favorite thing about living in Minnesota?
