Dr. Dani strives to be a good listener and discuss the nuances to your health that are typically over looked. Whether it is finding practical updates to your daily living, running some unique/reasonable/informative labs, or changing your nutrition, she wants to help you feel your best.
Dr. Dani is married to Drew and has two boys, Weston and Banks. She enjoys cooking, hiking, running, going to concerts (rock music is her favorite) and watching movies.
Dr. Courtney Simon, PT, DPT, FAAOMPT
Physical Therapist
Courtney grew up in a small town where she was very active competing in both rodeo and basketball. WHile this led to her fair share of injuries, it also guided her towards the path of pursuing physical therapy. Courtney attended Oklahoma State University where she earned her Bachelors in Athletic Training in 2012. Then she graduated with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Wichita State University in 2018. She continued to progress her career through a three year fellowship program to become a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists. This fellowship has improved her clinical decision making skills and helped to refine treatment plans to find the root cause of a patients pain, rather than addressing the symptoms alone. Courtney strives to educate patients on their current conditions in order to help them make progress towards healing and injury prevention. She is excited to join a multidisciplinary team and a close knit community.
