Michael P. Smith graduated with his B.S. in Biology from Fairfield University and subsequently pursued study in the areas of breast and ovarian cancer research where he was twice awarded Edmundson Fellowships for research at the USC Norris Cancer institute.

Michael’s primary area of study and practice since graduation has been orthopedics and hand rehabilitation including internships at Yale, City of Hope, Orthopedic Hospital of Los Angeles, and private practice at the Ventura Hand Center until May 2004. He is a board certified specialist in Hand Therapy and the first and only Hand Specialist between Thousand Oaks and San Francisco with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree.
On a personal level, having suffered a broken hand while in PT school, Michael brings his own experience with surgery and hand therapy to bear in the clinic.

The majority of his time is spent not only treating patients, but also as a mentor/instructor for staff therapists and interns studying for the Board Exams for the Hand Therapy Specialty. In order to maximize his patients’ outcomes, he also regularly attends surgeries to observe the latest and varying techniques used by surgeons today to maintain close and clear communication with the physicians whose patients he treats.

Dr. Mary K. Barry earned her doctorate degree in Physical Therapy at the University of Southern California in 2007. Earlier, in 1995, Mary graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology. Before entering the world of Physical Therapy 5 years ago, Mary worked for The Permanente Medical Group in Physician Education & Development working with physicians to better develop their communication skills for improved interactions with patients. Having worked directly with patients as a peer health educator while at Cal, Mary came to miss direct interactions with patients while at TPMG and made the move to Physical Therapy to return to that role.
Mary grew up in Red Bluff, CA, another small, agriculturally-based community, and feels right at home in the small town of Templeton.
