Ms. Briody says, "As a result of my personal experience with hand therapy, I empathize with my patients and I listen carefully to their concerns and goals to develop treatment plans that meet their needs. In addition to helping my patients achieve their goals through hand therapy, I enjoy educating them about their conditions.
