Meet DrHOVK

Dr. HOvanes Kirakosyan, PT, DPT, OCS

I have been a physical therapist since 2016. I worked at the reputable Elite Orthosport Physical Therapy and Performance for 5 years, gaining unmatched mentorship, experience and lessons.  With my time there i gained the trust and built repour with some of the top surgeons in the country, seeing numerous post operative patients. I have seen it all, from simple to complex cases , to weekend warriors and athletes, to adolescents and older adults. 


Of course, every profession has the good, and the bad. Unfortunately, with our healthcare system and reimbursement rates, many clinics and physical therapists have been forced to provide lower quality service to patients. This is a disservice to many knowledgeable, experienced and educated physical therapists and of course to the patients they serve. 


I embarked on this journey to improve patient outcomes and the overall patient experience. My trick to this - be detailed, be deliberate and be adapting. I adhere to the highest standards of practice, ensuring no corners are cut and no shortcuts are taken. I address every deficiency and deficit, avoiding the temptation to skip crucial milestones that could create the illusion of improvement. My approach emphasizes building a strong foundation and eliminating imperfections, as these can hinder progress and cause frustration later in the program. I firmly believe in the principle of simplicity and consistency. While there is a place for advanced exercises and routines, the key to initial success lies in performing fundamental exercises correctly and consistently.

 

Beginning with our first encounter and scheduling an appointment that is convenient for you at the comfort of your home or office, to our first session where i complete a thorough evaluation and with your input develop a detailed plan to reach your goals. From there, the journey continues, with the emphasis on effectively tracking progress and never getting comfortable. 


With a steadfast commitment to personalized care and a dedication to improving the lives of my patients, I strive to provide exceptional service that adapts to your unique needs and busy schedule. Whether it's early mornings, late nights, or weekends, I am here to ensure you receive the highest quality of care whenever you need it. Your health and well-being are my top priorities, and I am honored to be a part of your journey to better health.
