Meet the Staff
Richard began working for RET Hand Therapy in March of 2022 after moving from Sacramento, California. He enjoys using his hands to help people feel better through manual therapy such as joint and soft tissue mobilizations. He also enjoys fabricating custom orthoses to help protect surgical repairs and promote return to functional hand use. In addition to helping improve the body, Richard engages with patients in the creative process of modifying activities and equipment as needed to help people re-engage in activities that are important to them. Some of the most challenging and rewarding things about hand therapy are doing the “detective” work and collaborating with patients to figure out what makes them feel better. He also enjoys treating the hand in relation to the whole body/mind and helping patients understand the reasoning behind treatments.
In his free time, Richard enjoys playing with his kids, hauling people/things with his cargo bike, driving radio controlled trucks, and Aikido.

I started PT after a car accident. The staff was extremely helpful not just with injuries from the accident, but also other issues that had been bothering me. They are very good at communicating problems and solutions and are friendly to boot. Can’t recommend enough.

Attentive, responsive, pleasant in communication, knowledgeable staff. I got good results in a short time. Thankful to Dr. Andrew for useful information and for a program of exercises.

Doug Free, the manager at Mercer Island Physical Therapy, has a PhD in PT, and is an amazing diagnostic doctor who explains why a specific injury occurred. He also does fabulous work on your body. His entire staff is knowledgeable and excellent therapists.
Gary
RET Patient
I saw Anne at 7 weeks post ulnar nerve transposition. I’ve made more progress in 1 week with her than I did in those first 7. She is extremely knowledgeable and up to date on current research. I’d feel very good about sending my family and friends her way!
Holli
RET Patient
Kelly is amazing! I felt very comfortable and she asked all of the right questions, was super friendly, and knows exactly how to help. I always leave feeling so much better, and confident that if I do my exercises, I will heal!
Kelsey
RET Patient
Michelle has been amazing to work with. She quickly diagnosed the root cause of the issues that continued to plague me after recovering from hip replacement surgery that other PT’s (different companies) could not. She listens, is creative, resourceful, and very knowledgeable. Everyone at the clinic is always very professional and interested in our progress.
Conrac
RET Patient
I have been going to Summit Therapy for a shoulder problem. I’ve made steady progress and have gotten much pain relief. The staff is very friendly and great to work with. I recently had a sudden problem of vertigo. My therapist knew exactly what to do and performed a treatment that stopped the dizziness.
