Laura Visanko is an Occupational Therapist who specializes in hand therapy. Laura provides personalized care in Las Cruces, New Mexico. She has treated thousands of patients in her 30+ years of experience and is the first choice of many hand surgeons and other medical practitioners.

I hope this letter finds you well as I am writing to convey my sincere gratitude for the opportunity you have granted me to intern under your supervision. You serving as my clinical instructor has been a prodigious experience many may not have been granted.

The guidance you have provided me has been invaluable. Gaining clinical experience within the health-allied profession of occupational therapy has made me recognize that I have chosen the correct profession to pursue. The knowledge and practical experience gained in patient care, professional development and the ability to empower others are skill assets I desire to attain after the completion of my internship and still pursuing to learn working under your supervision.

The patience and expertise you have displayed in addressing injuries of the hand and therapeutic exercise always answer my inquiries and have facilitated my learning and development
