ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS
If you don’t see an appointment that works for your schedule, please add yourself to the waitlist and I will do my best to accommodate appointment requests.

Kara finished her Bachelor of Health Science degree from Thompson Rivers University (2007) and in February 2018, Kara completed her Master’s in Rehabilitation Science from the University of British Columbia. The Master’s program included a focus on leadership, interprofessional practice and the development of multi-faceted rehabilitation programs. The development of these rehabilitation programs incorporates a patient-centered focus, cultural considerations, change management strategies while choosing effective methods to evaluate patient and program outcomes.
