Dr. Claire Willis PT, DPT

Dr. Claire Willis PT, DPT was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. She developed a passion for physical therapy early on in high school, where she was able to take athletic training classes as an elective. She played soccer all through high school but was unable to play in college due to an ankle injury which further drew her into the world of physical therapy. She moved to Lake Charles, Louisiana where she received her Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science from McNeese State University. To obtain her Doctorate of Physical Therapy, Claire moved to North Carolina to attend Wingate University.

Throughout her clinical rotations, she has gained experience treating a variety of orthopedic conditions including rotator cuff tendinitis and repairs, hip osteoarthritis, and balance training for the geriatric population. Claire plans to further her training by becoming certified in Trigger Point Dry Needling and participating in continuing education for manual therapy techniques. She is thrilled to be a part of Saylor PT where she can treat patients 1-on-1 in their journey to recovery.

In her free time, Claire enjoys traveling, hiking, and spending time with her husband. Claire and her husband are excited to welcome their first child in May 2023!
