After graduating high school, he moved to Phoenix, AZ and obtained his undergraduate degree in Exercise and Wellness from Arizona State University in 2021. After receiving his Bachelor’s, Osvaldo stayed in Phoenix, AZ to complete his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Creighton University becoming part of the inaugural class.

Osvaldo prioritizes being an active listener and providing an individualized experience for his patients and helping them work towards success for their goals. He seeks to further his clinical skills and knowledge through continuing education courses and utilizing evidence-based practice to provide a holistic approach to his patient care.

Outside of the clinic, Osvaldo enjoys staying active and connected with loved ones. His favorite pastimes include hiking, weightlifting, running, and exploring new coffee shops with family and friends.
