Lisa Gingerich, PTA

People often seek rehabilitation services because they hurt or have a disability, not because they feel good. At Oaklawn Physical, Occupational & Speech Therapy, we understand this — and we are here to put our patients first in their time of need. We have a dedicated, highly qualified staff of physical and occupational therapy professionals to serve you. Oaklawn has a broad spectrum of therapists who specialize in many areas including orthopedics, speech, pelvic health, oncology rehabilitation/lymphedema, sports injuries, pediatrics and neurological issues.
