As a clinic manager with more than 40 years of experience in the field, Chris specializes in cranial, upper and lower limb, and spinal (excluding scoliosis treatment) orthoses, as well as functional electrical stimulation (FES), for all age groups.

He says it feeds his body and soul with a wide range of emotions, from empathy to the gratification felt when helping others. He finds it rewarding to use his knowledge and skills to help improve his patients’ quality of life, whether adults or pediatric patients in their ever-evolving stages of development.
