James M. LeBlanc

Personal Statement

“I chose to pursue a career in physical therapy, hoping to have the opportunity to carry out my passion for helping others. Daily, I see that hope become a reality as the patient’s quality of life is restored. I truly feel blessed to have had the opportunity to receive a high level of education that has provided me with the knowledge and clinical skills to effectively treat any person who walks through our clinic doors with the highest level of patient care. It is my goal that every patient leaves these doors with their concerns heard, their deficits restored, and their goals achieved.”
