Working in Amarillo since 2001, his primary emphasis has been treatment of orthopedic and sports related injuries as well as pre-employment employee screening/testing. He has been providing new hire (post-offer, pre-placement), post-injury/illness Return-To-Work, and Fit-For-Duty functional testing for local and national employers since 2006. As the owner of Total Physical Therapy since 2007, Tom prefers to lead quietly by example rather than from front office. His founding vision of TPT started with a simple, small concept: Provide great service, pay attention to details, and deliver compassionate care. That ethos remains the heartbeat of the clinic today, carried forward daily by a team inspired by his steady, supportive guidance.
