Brian Bedalov, MSPT

Brian received his Masters of Science degree in Physical Therapy, from Clarke College in Dubuque, Iowa in 2000.  He also received Bachelor of Arts degrees in both Human Health Services and Psychology from Clarke College.  Brian decided that he wanted to be a Physical Therapist when he was injured in high school and had to go to a physical therapist.  He so admired his therapist and the work that he did, that Brian realized that was what he wanted to do also.
