About Chloe Uhrmacher
My approach to care: I believe in using a biopsychosocial approach to treating people – it’s important to learn more about them than just their hand condition. Understanding patients holistically can allow patients and practitioners to work together to provide treatment that is specific to that patient’s goals.
Chloe has volunteered at the Teddy Bear Hospital and enjoys playing music in her free time. She is also an avid rock climber, baker, and traveller.
