Diane - Customer Experience Specialist
Favorites: Food – Salmon or a rare Filet, a good salad, and a glass of Cabernet. TV Show – Big Bang Theory, This is Us, Good Girls, Stranger Things Movie – The Proposal, It’s a Wonderful Life, Mulan, Transformers, Harold & Maude, more! Book –The Middle Place, At Home in Mitford, One for the Money Sports – Enough exercise so I don’t feel the fraud as a long time certified Personal Trainer, but historically more the weekend warrior variety - with skiing and mountain biking as favorites. Hobbies – Gardening. And having grown up fun with our now grown up son and daughter! Animal – I love the cuddlier variety of critters. Have had cats (Luke and Laura) and dogs (Lucy and Linus, later Chester) but sadly critter-less right now. Domino, the guinea pig, was really not that cuddly. |

Why do I work at DSMC?
"I really enjoy helping people on their road to relief from pain. Working with people from all walks of life I have learned that there is no one single method of treatment for everyone, and no one understands this more than DSMC. In everything they do, they are THE definition of excellence, and I'm proud to be a part of it. Whether patients need to touch up their game so they can continue to dominate on the field, or if they have been suffering from chronic pain for far too long and are finally taking the steps necessary, the therapists and staff are committed to doing everything we can to help achieve their goals."
