“Empowering and educating patients how to take their health into their own hands.” - Dr. Carla Cupido

As a nationally ranked runner for six years and now as a doctor, I have developed the belief that clear communication and patient education are paramount to patient service.  I am confident that if you understand your injury, you will be better equipped to recover quickly and prevent future recurrences.  I want to work with you as your advisor and teammate in an effort to improve the quality of your life and enhance performance in your physical endeavours.
