Jimmy Chow, MD

As a lifelong athlete with countless injuries over the years, I developed a sincere passion in restoring patients to their baseline function and getting them back to their daily activities or athletic endeavors as soon as possible. As a Physiatrist, a doctor of function, I take great pride in approaching each patient holistically in order to fully understand their symptoms and develop the best treatment plan possible. I believe the doctor-patient relationship should be approached with an open line of communication in a team-oriented manner, and also that education is the key to patients being better able to better understand and take ownership of their care.

“My goal is to help my patients stay as active as possible at any age! As an osteopathic physiatrist, I believe that structure and function are interrelated. Our bodies are constantly working to maintain balance, however at times they may need assistance due to an acute or chronic injury that never adequately healed. I use my musculoskeletal knowledge and osteopathic skills to diagnose and provide effective individualized treatment programs that include appropriate medications, manual manipulation, physical therapy, and/or interventional procedures in order to restore and improve my patient’s function and maximize their quality of life.”

As a physiatrist, I am focused on restoring function and working creatively with people across the spectrum of ability to help them achieve their goals. My philosophy is to meet my patients where they are and to use education on diagnosis and recovery as a way to empower them to maximize activity and quality of life. I believe that movement is medicine, and that we all need a little help sometimes to feel like ourselves and return to healthy and pain-free activity.
