WHAT DAN’S PATIENTS SAY

“Highly recommend Dan! He did an incredible job helping me recover from full elbow reconstruction and get back to the big leagues. His expertise, dedication, and personalized treatment plan made all the difference in my recovery. If you’re looking to get back to being your old self after an injury, Dan is the one to see.”

Dave Robertson, MLB Relief Pitcher

“I loved having Dan as my physical therapist! When I first started, I was nervous after breaking my femur in half during a high school hockey game. Dan was incredibly welcoming and made me feel comfortable right away. He always took the time to explain each exercise and encouraged me to ask questions — whether about my rehab or ways to continue improving at home or in the gym.

Beyond being an amazing PT, Dan made the experience personal. He genuinely cared, asking about school and life in general, which made every session enjoyable. I’m so grateful to still be able to rely on him today — whether I have a question about an injury or just want to share a life update!”

Maddie Bradley, University of New England Women’s Ice Hockey

“Dan and I have worked together through two separate ACL injuries, and both experiences have been outstanding. He is an expert in his field who always gives his full attention and focus during every session. Dan is approachable, enthusiastic, and truly dedicated to helping his clients succeed. I’ve always felt that he was fully committed to helping me get back on the field. I highly recommend him to any athlete dealing with an injury who’s looking for a knowledgeable and genuinely committed professional.”

Antonio Topouzis, Cornell University Men’s Lacrosse

“I saw Dan on two separate occasions for issues with the same left ankle. After my surgery, Dan worked with me to regain my range of motion and strength. Although our sessions were sometimes frustrating due to the pain, they always felt purposeful and productive. I could see real progress–not only physically–but also through measurable improvements in my strength, which gave me tangible proof that the work we were doing was paying off. Dan tailored my exercises to help me prepare for my first year of college fencing. By the time I started school, I felt ready and my athletic trainer there had all the information from Dan, which made my transition smooth and seamless. I returned to see Dan this past summer for recurring pain, and he quickly identified how weaknesses in other areas were affecting my ankle. He targeted those areas right away, which helped me rebuild my strength. Even after our sessions ended, the exercises and workout plans he gave me continued to help me improve.”

Ines Benadouda, SHU Women’s Fencing

“Dan was an incredibly compassionate and committed therapist. From the very beginning, it was clear that he truly cared about me as a person and not as just another patient. His dedication to my recovery never faded, and he consistently went above and beyond to help me reach my goal of getting back to 100% after my reconstructive ACL surgery. Thanks to his support and expertise, I was able to return to my daily activities and even soccer with full strength and confidence.”

Lena Rodriguez

“Dan was amazing throughout my rehab. Always positive and enthusiastic. He helped me bring strength and functionality back faster than I expected.”

JOSH OJURI, UNIVERSITY OF MAINE MEN’S BASKETBALL

“After an ACL surgery on my left knee I was hungry to get back to playing college soccer and get back stronger than before. Dan’s experience and knowledge on sport-specific rehab alongside his program made me feel extremely confident. I wasn’t just getting stronger or getting better range of motion. I was training and moving like a soccer player should, focusing on all aspects of the rehab including mental obstacles. Ultimately, he gave me the tools to improve and play the sport I love. Without Dan I wouldn’t have been able to return to sport.”
