Michael D.
PT, DPT
Location: MVPT Physical Therapy – Rochester - Gates, NY
Michael is a graduate of Nazareth University where he earned his Doctoral degree in Physical Therapy.
From a young age, sports were a very large part of Michael’s life, and with that came several injuries and surgeries. He loved that PTs got to walk alongside him as he worked towards getting back to playing sports and wanted to be able to help people and create relationships to help them return to doing what they love, in the way that his PTs did for him. Michael enjoys working with all postoperative patients as well as golf, running, and other sports related injuries. In addition, Michael is Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Certified, as well as is a Champion Performance Specialist (CP-S) and is a Certified Speed and Agility Coach (CSAS).
Michael enjoys spending time with his wife and two boys, playing golf, and woodworking.
