About Ron

Ron is a native New Orleanian and a co-owner of Magnolia, where he serves as CMO. He provides electrodiagnostic and musculoskeletal ultrasound services to improve outcomes for patients here, so tests that usually send you somewhere else happen in our clinic. He also enjoys serving as a mentor for our younger clinicians. Outside work he enjoys Mardi Gras, French Quarter Festival, recreational sports, hunting, and cheering on the Saints and Tigers with his wife and 2 children. Aline M. saw the diagnostic side of his work up close: “I was able to get a Nerve Conduction Studies test and EMG at their location with Dr. Ron. He was very knowledgeable on nerve trauma / damage and explained the test results in terms I could understand.”

Education and training

Ron graduated as a physical therapist from LSUMC in 1999. Since then he has received multiple advanced degrees in the field, including a manual therapy certification and a dry needling certification, and most notably he achieved fellowship status with the American Academy of Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapists.
