Dr. Rikki Choate PT, DPT
Clinic Director
Dr. Rikki Choate PT, DPT
Clinic DirectorRikki grew up the small town of Lyons, Ks and ever since high school has been interested in physical therapy. What initially drew her in was anatomy of the human body and how it worked but as she grew in the field, she found that it was more about seeing the progress patient’s make in PT. In 2014, Rikki graduated from a Physical Therapy Assistant Program and continued to work in the field as a PTA until she completed her B.A. in Exercise Science in 2016 and finally her doctorate degree in May of 2019 at Wichita State University. She loves seeing her patients advance and improve in therapy and can’t wait to continue to learn as her career grows. During her time away from work, Rikki loves to go to the lake with her husband, to exercise and to go on runs with her two chocolate labs.

Dr. Ashley De Los Reyes PT, DPT
Therapist
Dr. Ashley De Los Reyes PT, DPT
TherapistAshley was first introduced to Physical Therapy in her freshman year at Sterling College. She was hired to provide a weekly aquatic session to a young boy diagnosed with Down Syndrome. The sessions were very beneficial to the boy, so much so, his mother suggested that Ashley consider Physical Therapy as a possible career path. In addition, during her years as a college athlete, she observed many of her teammates suffer from injuries that required Physical Therapy. Ashley was always fascinated at the amazing results PT provided them.
Ashley enjoys the problem-solving aspects that come with being a Physical Therapist. She is motivated daily by the rewarding feeling she gets from working with a patient to achieve their goals and helping them accomplish a better quality of life. No patient is the same, and she enjoys the challenge of developing an individualized treatment plan that will maximize good outcomes.
Since 2012, Ashley has been living in Kansas City working as a Physical Therapist. She is very excited to now be living in Wichita to be closer to family. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband and four children. They enjoy swimming, going on walks, the zoo and the park.

Charles Graham PT, MSPT
Therapist
Charles Graham PT, MSPT
TherapistI have had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of patients in a variety of settings in physical therapy over 18 years. These settings ranged from outpatient, acute care, skilled care, workman’s comp, rehab, and even the military where my last clinical was at the National Navy Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Initially I became interested in physical therapy through my involvement in playing sports. Having been injured while in college and not having someone to help in my recovery, my interest was sparked in finding a way to help others with similar circumstances, who were trying to get back to what they were doing before whether it was a sport, a job, a hobby, or just simple activities of daily living. My goal for each person is to educate , motivate, and provide the means or tools necessary to aide in their recovery and empower them in a positive way for them to become the best version of themselves.
When I am not at work I enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, snow skiing, biking, hiking, working out, getting involved in the community and church activities, watching college football and basketball, movies, reading, and in the process of hopefully developing a golf game.

Advanced and Preferred Physical Therapy is a rapidly growing physical and occupational therapy private practice company in Wichita, Kansas City, and the surrounding areas.
Karen is from the small town of Garden Plain, Kansas and attended Pittsburg State University for her undergraduate degree and The University of Kansas Medical School for physical therapy school. She knew that physical therapy was her career path of choice when she worked in the physical therapy department at the local hospital in Pittsburg, Kansas and saw firsthand how the therapists developed relationships with patients and helped them get better physically. She moved back to Wichita, was the first physical therapist for Advanced Physical Therapy when the company started in 2004, and she opened multiple clinics in the Wichita area. Karen served as a Regional Director for years and moved into the role of CEO of Advanced and Preferred Physical Therapy in 2021.

In 2022, Karen completed a two-year program of leadership training and completion of a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree through Evidence in Motion while learning and growing in her role as the CEO of the company. These years were challenging, yet so very rewarding both personally and professionally.
Karen enjoys spending time with her husband and three sons. They are the loves of her life and when she is not working, she spends her free time with them playing outside, fishing, riding bikes, shooting hoops, and playing soccer and catch. They have been her best teachers and have given her an appreciation for nature (catching turtles, frogs, and snakes), and most importantly, have taught her patience and humility.
