Andrew Bates
PT, DPT
Andrew grew up in Seattle, Washington, but moved out to Denver in 2015 to attend the University of Denver and escape the rain. During his four years at DU, he worked in a visual perception research lab, shadowed different healthcare professionals, and met his future wife. Going into his senior year he shadowed a physical therapist who worked with neurological disorders and quickly decided that he wanted to be a physical therapist. In 2019 he graduated from DU with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Cognitive Neuroscience. Prior to attending Regis University for his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, he worked at Craig Hospital for a year with a gait training team, helping individuals with spinal cord and brain injuries. While working on his DPT degree at Regis University he gained experience in many different clinical settings and worked with different orthopedic and neurologic populations. During this time, he also found his true passion in physical therapy of working with vestibular and concussion populations. He developed an understanding of how debilitating dizziness and head injuries can be for individuals’ day-to-day life. Because of these experiences, he has been dedicated to helping these individuals move better and get back to doing the things they love to do. He is certified in functional dry needling, as well as vestibular and concussion rehabilitation through the American Institute of Balance. When not working on house projects, he spends most of his time with his wife and two dogs in the mountains going on hikes, camping, and fishing.

Tiffany Wolf
Clinical Director, PT, DPT, Cert. DN
Tiffany is a Colorado native, born and raised in the Denver metro area. While in high school, she discovered a love for sports and fitness, especially in the weight room. Knowing she wanted to pursue a career in the healthcare field, Tiffany realized that physical therapy comprised the ideal balance between patient interaction and her love of all things sports- and gym-related. Tiffany attended the University of Colorado at Boulder, graduating in 2003 with her bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Psychology. While at CU-Boulder, Tiffany received her certification as a group fitness instructor and continued teaching through graduate school. She then attended Regis University for Physical Therapy school and graduated in 2006 with her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree. Following graduation, Tiffany moved with her husband to northern Nevada where she practiced in multiple settings including acute care, acute rehab, home health, and (her favorite!) outpatient orthopedics. Both Tiffany and her husband are from close-knit families, so they decided to move back to Colorado in 2011 after starting a family of their own. Since returning, Tiffany has been working exclusively in outpatient orthopedics. With her strong fitness background and years of diverse experience, she believes that therapy is a team effort between patient, therapist, doctor, and other health care providers. Tiffany is a firm believer that physical therapists are the musculoskeletal specialists and, as such, her goal is to give patients the tools to succeed both immediately in rehab as well as in future fitness programs. Tiffany has completed all coursework for Manual Therapy through the University of St. Augustine, is certified in Dry Needling through the American Academy of Manipulative Therapy, and is a Lymphedema Certified Specialist trained through Klose Training. Away from work, Tiffany enjoys running, triathlons, aerobics, and spending time with her husband, two young girls, and two dogs.
