In his free time, he enjoys hiking new trails, bowling, and spending time with friends and family. Patrick is an avid fan of the NFL and F1. One day, he would like to travel abroad and visit Ireland.


Anna Watts, PT, DPT
Clinical Fellow Associate

Anna earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from WashU Medicine Physical Therapy. She chose WashU’s orthopedic residency for its variety of learning opportunities, including both the movement system and manual therapy content. She’s excited to work with mentors who will challenge her to grow her clinical skills and reasoning while being supportive and encouraging along the way. When she’s not in the clinic you can find her hanging out with her dog and 2 cats, working on a puzzle, managing a very successful fantasy hockey team, or (re)watching an early 00s movie/tv show.
