ABOUT ABI PROMEDICAL

Dr. Behdad Dehbandi
BSc PT, MSc PT, MSc BEng, DPT
My clinical and research specialties as a rehabilitation medicine specialist are concerned with human performance and function. It has been the center of my clinical and research practice to find scientific, non-invasive and objective solutions for critical social issues such as the aging-related issues in the population, neurological, cardiopulmonary, musculoskeletal and sports injuries, the saving of individuals with formerly lethal conditions and injuries that influence Quality of Life, and the increased societal recognition of the importance of quality of life rather than simply the quantity of life.

ABI PROMEDICAL AGENDA
Human Connections
We seek out the best people, and only those with that special something—happy, determined, compassionate professionals who truly enjoy connecting with both patients and their team members. Our expert team of rehabilitation medicine, physiotherapists and clinicians and support staff engages patients in highly motivating, highly personalized encounters that get them excited about healing.
The highlight of this focus on relationships is playing out daily at ABI Promedical Rehab center, which unites the entire medical Rehab team to compete in the scientific and rehabilitation field, and most of all, bond. A team that has fun together succeeds together (and brainstorms innovative ideas together, supports one another, and on and on…). ABI Promedical Rehab allows its team members to be themselves and make natural human connections. This leads to a deep caring for their patients and each other.
Driven by Passion
We’re proud of the fact that our rehabilitation medicine and physical therapist team is comprised of the researcher, former collegiate or professional athletes and professional clinician in the field of rehabilitation medicine. They know what you need to get back to life, and how vital it is for you to get there—to heal, thrive, and become the best version of yourself—because they’ve been there themselves.
ABI Promedical’s Rehab co-founder, Behdad Dehbandi, is a perfect example of a career driven by a passion for rehabilitation medicine and Science. To this day, he still uses his background in a professional research career by working as a Clinician at different Major Sports Leagues and centers.
A Career Path for All
Our ABI Promedical values take effect even before a new team member comes on board—during the hiring process. We hire people who love what they do, and from day one, the stage is set for success. You see, the next generation of ABI Promedical leaders is an inside job—we plant the seeds, provide ample opportunities to learn, and watch them grow!
As time goes on, we invest in our people, supporting them as they step out of their comfort zones (where all great things happen) and set their own course for success. Their self-determination makes going to work each day a joy—joy which translates into amazing patient experiences. One thing we know for sure: when the patient experience is better, patients heal faster.
ABI Promedical rehabilitation’s leadership teams are constantly training, growing and improving for the benefit of our patients.
Come Catch the ABI Promedical Rehab Spirit
The ABI Promedical culture—based on the seriousness of solving problems, fun, togetherness, empathy, and growth from the inside out—is at the heart of every ABI Promedical encounter, and wholly responsible for our many successes. Come witness for yourself why our clinicians and patients alike celebrate the uniqueness of ABI Promedical Therapy.
