Meet our Physical Therapists

 Susan graduated from PT school in 1992 and began working with children during her first year as a PT. After working at an inpatient rehab for children and then home healthcare, she decided to contract with the Babies Can’t Wait program in 1997. She started alone and gradually hired PTs, then OTs and finally SLPs. In 2005 she built a clinic which led to most clients being treated in the facility rather than in the home. As a result our practice name transitioned from In Home Pediatric Therapy to Pediatric Therapy of Evans. In her free time she enjoys traveling and hanging out with her family. She has two fur babies named Brack and Essie Mae!  
 

  Melissa’s interest in Physical Therapy started in high school when she observed children participating in aquatic PT while teaching swim lessons at a local pool. She knew she wanted to work with kids in an active and dynamic way and PT was the perfect fit. She attended University of Georgia (GO Dawgs!) and graduated with a degree in Psychology. She then received her Masters of Physical Therapy from Medical College of Georgia. While attending school, she met her husband, Walker. They have 2 children. In her free time she enjoys riding horses, spending time with her family, and traveling.
 

   Amy graduated from The Medical College of Georgia in 1988 with a BS in Physical Therapy, and she became NDT certified in 1991.  She has had a love for babies and children from the very beginning!  She has experience in a variety of settings, including inpatient rehab, schools, home services and outpatient therapy.  The bulk of her experience is in treating the 0-3 year old population. She loves working closely with families and it’s her greatest joy to help little ones reach even the smallest goal.
 

  Andy graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1997, then went to MCG to get his physical therapy degree in 2001. His first PT job was in the hospital setting working at an inpatient rehab unit in addition to outpatient clinic treatments. In 2005, he joined Pediatric Therapy of Evans and began working in pediatric physical therapy. The last 18 years have been very rewarding for Andy personally and professionally as he gets to play a valuable role in the lives of disabled children. He is married to his wife, Wendie, and has 3 boys. In his free time, he enjoys sports, working out, and being outside.  
 

  Amy has a love for being around people and helping make a difference in their lives. She realized while in college that she wanted to incorporate this passion in the area of healthcare.  Physical therapy was a perfect choice for her.  She received an undergraduate degree in 1996 in biology and chemistry from UNC Chapel Hill. She continued her studies in Chapel Hill and received her Masters degree in Physical Therapy in 1998.  She is certified in Women’s Health and Functional Dry Needling.  She worked in the area of sports medicine and orthopedics for 8 years in Colorado Springs and Augusta.  She and her husband started a family and  Amy transitioned her career to pediatrics to have a more flexible schedule.  She loves working with kids of all ages with a variety of needs.  She continues to use her orthopedic experience with children.  Over the years Amy has enjoyed volunteering at church, her children's school, special olympics and Tri My Best. Amy enjoys running, biking, traveling and spending time with friends and family.
