Scott is a native to Long Island and since a young age has been passionate about helping others. It is what attracted him to physical therapy and health care. Scott earned his bachelor’s in exercise science from George Washington University in Washington D.C. and then went on to earn his doctorate in physical therapy from The New York Institute of Technology in NY.

Scott received extensive training in physical rehabilitation from Cornell Medical Center in NYC, St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson, and then began working in private practice with orthopedic and neurologically impaired patients.

Scott’s passion for health and fitness inspires his patients. His love of science and learning means that he is constantly keeping up with the very best evidence-based practice research. By doing so, he can improve patients outcomes more quickly and efficiently. Scott has done countless educational programs in balance disorders, fall prevention, and geriatrics. Scott fully believes that physical therapy should be engaging and enjoyable. Each session is tailored to the patient’s needs and goals after a thorough evaluation and plan of care are discussed between Scott and his patients.

Over the past 20 years, Scott has been heavily involved with rehabilitation and the fitness industry as it is a passion of his. He has taken thousands of hours of continuing education courses to better improve his manual therapy skills to get his patients back to function and out of pain as quickly as possible. Scott says the best part of his job is helping people get out of pain, feel better, and return to living pain-free lives.

After working in a variety of different settings for many years Scott realized that he can have a better impact on his patients by working with them in a 1:1 setting exclusively. He also refuses to be limited by the restrictions insurance companies put on physical therapy and always treats people as a whole person rather than just focusing on a “knee” or “neck.” He understands the body works as a complex system and all areas need to be addressed as one. He believes that patients should be treated like family, not just as a typical patient. It was because of his desire to get away from the more common physical therapy approach that he began working with people in a 1:1 setting the way he believes physical therapy was intended to be.

Scott believes that comprehensive patient education, active role taking in the rehabilitation process, and consideration of the client, as a whole is important to realize the long-term benefits of treatment. When communicating with all clients he aims to educate you about how your body works. He will show you how we all have the ability to re-educate our mind and body to create optimal outcomes.

When not practicing physical therapy Scott enjoys spending his time with his wife Stefanie and two boys Matthew and Tyler. Scott enjoys weight training, cooking, eating, and watching his favorite sports teams the Mets, Jets, Knicks, and Islanders.
