She considers not just your pain problem but also your mindset and social situation to treat YOU the whole person--not just a body part.  Dr. Stephanie started her career working in a small private practice in rural Minnesota, where providers were so sparse that people traveled across the region to receive care.

Ms. Cook often says that here greatest honor is being the mother of three wonderful children, Marcus Lorioun, Vernetha Dionne, and Lawrence Ray Williams, Jr., who are all college graduates and have successful careers.  She is also a grandmother of two outstanding grandsons who are carrying on the family tradition of leadership in their high school.   More About Jenna: Jenna Kantor, PT, DPT, is a bubbly and energetic woman who was born and raised in Petaluma, California.
