Professional Affiliations and Qualifications

Family and Hobbies

Dr. Conder is originally from Owensboro, Kentucky. He moved to Louisville over 12 years ago and met his wife, Kim, at the University of Kentucky (he’s a big UK fan!). He loves to fish, play golf, and spend time with his kids in his spare time. Together, he and his family do a lot of traveling to the lake.

He has two lovely children, Braden, and Abbi. They enjoy animals, so the Conder house has a standard poodle, a rabbit, a cockatiel, a snake, and two aquatic frogs. They also love pet sitting for their friends and family. Dr. Conder initially got into physical therapy because he wanted to help people.

“It’s been a great journey so far. I’ve got a lot of great staff, and we’re going to continue to grow to help more people in the Louisville area. Maybe eventually even beyond that, in southern Indiana and other places!”
