About the Author:

Michael Wagner is a practicing physical therapist at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains, NY. Prior to working in this setting, he practiced in a privately owned outpatient clinic, the pediatric department of Yale-New Haven Hospital, as well as at the Alaskan Native Medical Center in Anchorage. In addition to giving him exposure to a broad range of diagnosis, these varied experiences have brought with them an opportunity to work with a broad range of personalities. It is the latter which lead to the creation of this book. The overall standard of care, as well as the resulting outcome, are influenced by the quality of the relationship formed between a medical professional and their patient. This effect is analogous to how customer service affects the overall success of any business.
