OWNER &  DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY


Dr. Patrick started in the Physical Therapy (PT) world as a PT Aide working at Presidio Sports and Medicine.  This experience led him to his job as a PT Aide for Kaiser Permanente where he eventually became an Office Manager, gaining experience in insurance verification and chart auditing.  He was accepted into the University of Puget Sound (Tacoma, WA) Doctoral of Physical Therapy Program in 2008.  His academic excellence and leadership skills provided for the limited opportunities of completing his clinical rotations at more rigorous sites at Harborview Medical Center (Trauma 1 hospital) as well as Madigan Hospital at Joint Base Lewis-McCord.  His first PT opportunity started with Highline Physical Therapy in 2011, where his passion for finance and healthcare started to blend. He became Clinic Director at Highline Physical Therapy in 2014 before he moved on to become Clinic Director of a start-up private practice for RET Physical Therapy Group.  After two years, Dr. Patrick realized his ideas on innovating healthcare are possible and he decided to resign from that position to open Physical Therapy Dynamix.   


Personal Life

Dr. Patrick was raised in San Francisco, California most of his life. His grandparents were immigrants from China where they worked hard as cooks and seamstresses to provide the family a pathway to the American dream.  He took his studies seriously to ensure no opportunities were wasted.  He attended San Francisco State University where he majored in Kinesiology.  While doing this, he also became very active in the Asian American community fighting social injustices surrounding affordable housing, access to healthcare, and obtaining higher education.  His fervor and commitment toward health and community engagement led him down the path to pursue a career focused on changing lives.   

Treatment Philosophy

Dr. Patrick believes every patient deserves 1-on-1 time with their healthcare providers.  As a Physical Therapist, he is the "externist" of the body; for any pain related to movement or positioning, he wants to be the first one to know about it. With his extensive training, he has saved his patients thousands of dollars in healthcare related expenses.  He also believes as a Physical Therapist he can connect the communities he belongs to in order to strengthen them from within.  From his grandparent's teachings, he believes that his active involvement in helping the community and his patients on a deeper level will create an exceptional experience to those who entrust their health in his hands.
