Our Staff
Dr. Maritza Cuevas
PT, DPT
Physical Therapist
I grew up in Loudon, TN, but am originally from Mexico. I graduated from ETSU with my bachelor’s degree in biology in 2019 and then received my doctorate of physical therapy in 2022 from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
I have been a licensed physical therapist since 2022 and have been working at an outpatient clinic with a variety of patient populations and diagnoses. I want to utilize my bilingual skills in order to bridge the gap between non-English-speaking members of the Spanish community and healthcare professionals.
My core values are: family, compassion, and advocacy.
“If you continue catching the vase when it falls, everyone will continue thinking the shelf is sturdy.”
I hope to incorporate my neuro skills with the outpatient population to decrease fall risk in the geriatric populations and help patients return to/achieve an active lifestyle. I want to utilize my bilingual skills in order to bridge the gap between non-English-speaking members of the Spanish community and healthcare professionals.
I love treating patients with neurological disorders and pelvic floor dysfunctions.
I have a certification in Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT), which helps patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
I enjoy working for Simply Physio because of the passion that all the clinicians have to help the patients. I like the relationship the staff have with each other and how close everyone is. I love the idea of making the patients the priority of the clinic.
I love spending time with my husband Bryan and our son Nathaniel. We enjoy traveling, playing UNO, eating, listening to music, and spending time with friends and family.
