Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist
Owner/ Physical Therapist

Jimmy is also fluent in Spanish.
Jimmy met his wife, Charina, at BYU and they have 4 kids. They love spending time as a family and are very active in their church and community.
Charina Willis
Owner / Office Administrator
If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of Charina in the clinic as she bustles in and out doing a lot of everything behind the scenes and while taking care of the Willis kiddos.
She has 8 years of office and billing management, but particularly loves the patients. The value of making someone's life better with greater ease and happiness makes it all worth while.
​
Charina will be more than happy to answer questions you have about insurance, billing, or any funny stories about Jimmy. There are plenty to choose from.
​
Charina loves being outside, a clean house, donuts, and of course, her family.
