BIO

He continues towards excellence through continued education and certifications in a holistic treatment approach.
​
MY STORY
For the better part of his childhood, Oron suffered from a very rare leg tumor leaving him in a wheelchair or on crutches. Physical limitations and an uncertain future drove an admiration for other children’s natural ability to use their bodies for joy, like riding bikes and playing basketball. This trauma crystalized a lifelong path of patient as healer. Rising above personal physical limitations established a character rooted in determination and compassion.  In this ongoing journey to understand and master optimal function from his own body, Dr. Fiksel has crafted a holistic treatment approach from watching, listening and caring for others.
