Michael W. Driggs, DPT, ATC

“I grew up in this practice and saw firsthand how my dad was able to make a positive difference in the lives of people who needed help. Also, after a football injury, I had physical therapy, which enabled me to return to the playing field. Today, these personal experiences are what motivate me to deliver care others can’t or won’t. And they’re all the reason I need to carry on RehabXcel’s hard-earned reputation for excellence.”

Angelle F. Driggs, L/OTR
Occupational Therapist Registered/Licensed
“I became interested in occupational therapy when I saw what a remarkable impact it had on my own father. After he suffered from two heart attacks and a stroke, I witnessed how occupational therapy helped him recover and get back to his life. It was life-changing for me. I knew then that I wanted to be a part of this. To be able to contribute to the lives of others in such a meaningful and significant way was too exciting not to pursue. I still feel this excitement today, and it makes me proud of what I do.”
