Meet the Team Behind Your Recovery
Every visit connects back to the same two people: Dr. Fabiolla Kopp, the physiatrist, a physician specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation, who leads your care plan, and Veronica, the clinic coordinator who makes sure the details around it run smoothly. Get to know the team you'll work with at our East Loop and Lincoln Park locations.
Small by design, so your care never gets lost in hand-offs
You will work with the same two people at every visit. That is deliberate. A small team means Dr. Kopp knows your history without reading it off a chart, and Veronica knows your name before you say it.
Founder and physiatrist
Welcome to Wellness by Physiatry. I founded this practice to give brain injury survivors and their families the kind of care I wanted to be able to offer them in the hospital, because our body doesn't work in separate parts, and neither should your health. As a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician who specializes in brain injury rehabilitation medicine, I practiced at TIRR Memorial Hermann Rehabilitation Hospital and Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital.
That's why I left the hospital setting to coordinate your whole recovery in one place, and stay with you through it, the way a case manager would if every case manager also examined you and adjusted your treatment plan themselves. Education comes first in how I practice: I explain what is happening in your brain and body in plain language, as many times as it takes, and I build your care plan around your own goals rather than a standard protocol.
I see patients at both our East Loop and Lincoln Park locations, and I offer care in English, Español, and Português.
Clinic coordinator
Hi, I'm Veronica, the clinic coordinator here at Wellness by Physiatry. I bring organizational strength and a compassionate touch to our daily operations, and after more than 20 years working with patients in hospital settings, I still love the part of this work where I get to help someone directly.
To me, good service means going the extra step in every conversation, whether that is confirming your appointment, helping you find the right form, or just making sure you feel heard when you call. Wellness by Physiatry has also been an inspiring place to grow, and I am continually learning more about lifestyle medicine, knowledge every patient deserves access to.
Outside of work, I'm a proud mother of three energetic boys, two of whom are deeply involved in travel soccer. Our weekends are full of games, cheering from the sidelines, and celebrating their growth on and off the field.
