Idea of Care

I believe an injury cannot be treated without first knowing the person. Everyone has a different story or end goal that serves as their motivation throughout recovery. When first meeting a patient, I seek to identify what is important to them and how we can return them to full function. I believe collaboration is the best approach and includes buy-in, commitment and accountability from both patient and provider.

I do my best to ensure patients have a full understanding of their injury, recovery timeline and rationale behind each component of their treatment. This keeps all parties on the same page and helps instill their confidence in me as a member of their medical team.

Kyle is married and has two children and a golden retriever. Together, they enjoy going to the lake or his parents’ farm in rural North Dakota. He has always enjoyed being active and has recently taken up distance running. Having broken the three-hour threshold, Kyle aims to complete all the world’s major marathons and one in each state.
