About Us

Our team of expert physicians, psychologists and therapy partners at Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation work together to deliver personalized rehabilitation care that supports the whole person—not just the condition.

We offer specialized inpatient rehabilitation for both children and adults, with a focus on recovery from traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, cancer and other medically complex conditions. Our doctors also provide consultative care for patients in the hospital, helping those facing neurological challenges, chronic illness or serious injury take steps toward healing.

Our commitment extends beyond the hospital walls. We provide outpatient services across Ann Arbor and our surrounding communities, partnering with other Michigan Medicine specialists to ensure coordinated, compassionate care wherever it’s needed.
