We are excited to announce Emily Pruet has joined our clinic staff today!🎉

Emily Pruet is a board certified Occupational Therapist who received her Masters in Occupational Therapy from Concordia University Wisconsin in 2019. During OT school, she received the Student Scholarship and Educational Excellence Award, participated in a mission trip to Nicaragua where she had the opportunity to provide OT services to those in need, and she presented her research on the use mirror therapy in treating hand injuries at the 2018 Wisconsin Occupational Therapy Association Annual Meeting.

Emily began her career as an OT in outpatient hand therapy in south Florida, and recently moved back to the northeast to be closer to her family. She enjoys hand therapy because it is challenging - requiring detailed knowledge of anatomy and surgical procedures and finds it rewarding to be able to help people regain their independence by restoring the use of their hand. She plans to pursue CHT certification in the future. Welcome Emily!😊👋🌷#welcome #newteammember #ot #novahandtherapy

“My son broke his thumb, needed surgery and PT afterward. We found NOVA Hand Therapy Center literally on a search and decided to give it a try from all the good reviews. Well, those reviews were spot on! We had a wonderful experience with them. From the scheduling, to all the therapists and the center itself. Today was my son's final appointment and he has progressed so well. If anyone needs PT for your hand, wrist or elbows, I would highly recommend NOVA Hand Therapy Center!”🙌👍🏻😊#thankyou #googlereview #5stars #awesometeam #❤️ourpatients
