Dana earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Touro University School of Health Sciences, her Master of Public Health from New York Medical College, and her Bachelor of Science degree from SUNY Geneseo.
At SUNY Geneseo, Dana was a member of the Cross Country and Track and Field teams for all four years and was a three-time participant at the NCAA DIII National Championship. Since graduating, she has continued to run and compete in races ranging from the 5K to the Half Marathon and Marathon. During her time at Touro, Dana was an active member of the Student Physical Therapy Association (SPTA), which worked to enhance student life through social and fundraising events, and she also served as a tutor for first-year DPT students. Both roles taught her to be resourceful and strengthened her problem-solving and communication skills—qualities that have built a strong foundation for her to be a proactive and committed clinician in the field. Upon graduating from Touro, Dana was recognized by the faculty of the Long Island Campus and received the Maimonides Award for professionalism, excellence, and commitment in the field of health science and wellness.
During her clinical rotations at Touro, Dana had the privilege of working with a diverse patient population across a variety of clinical settings. Her experiences include outpatient orthopedics, acute inpatient care, and adult neurological rehabilitation, where she treated individuals recovering from post-operative procedures, musculoskeletal conditions, strokes, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries. These opportunities deepened her clinical knowledge and reinforced her passion for helping others regain strength, confidence, and independence.
Dana’s journey into physical therapy began at a young age, inspired by her love for competitive sports and an active lifestyle. Having personally experienced injuries and the challenges of recovery, she understands the physical and emotional resilience required to heal. This perspective fuels her commitment to providing compassionate, individualized care that empowers each patient to move with confidence and return to the activities they love—pain-free and stronger than before.
Beyond the clinic, Dana stays active through running, racing, and group fitness classes. She also enjoys spending summers at the beach, hiking, reading, and attending concerts. These personal passions keep her balanced and energized, allowing her to bring enthusiasm and dedication to her patients every day.
We pride ourselves on providing the most personalized physical therapy experience—setting a new standard of care that combines best-in-class clinical care with a patient-first mindset.
