Dan Proctor, PT

Co-Owner and Administrator “After leaving high school with year-round multi-sport participation and a year of pole vaulting at Baylor University 3 years later, I realized a career working with the physically active human body was a good fit.” “Physical Therapy was, and still is, a profession with diverse employment options that allows guidance for persons of all ages and physical abilities.” “I believe in treating my patients based on the source of their problem, not just the symptoms. An effective practitioner needs to be a good listener in order to discover what the source of the problem really is. This also helps build trust and confidence with patients. As co-owner of the practice, I hope to give my patients an overall satisfying experience that provides results and improves their quality of life. We define that as conducting a thorough evaluation of each patient’s condition, providing evidence-based treatment options and working with patients to help them develop and reach their own unique goals.”
