About Amanda Zennaro
My approach to care: I believe great outcomes come from getting to know the person behind the injury. I take a patient-centered approach to care, tailoring treatment plans to each individual’s goals, lifestyle, and the activities they enjoy most. I enjoy building genuine connections with my patients and creating a relaxed, supportive environment where people feel comfortable, heard, and motivated throughout their recovery. My goal is to work collaboratively with patients to help them return to the things they need and love to do.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing basketball, going to the gym, walking my border collie, getting to the beach and spending time with family and friends. I’ll jump at any opportunity to travel, explore new places, and experience different cultures.
