Physiatrists – doctors who are specialized in physical medicine and rehabilitation – treat patients after a stroke, a brain or spinal cord injury, as well as diagnose and treat a variety of neuro-musculoskeletal injuries and impairments. They focus on treating the patient as a whole by addressing your physical, emotional, and social needs throughout rehabilitation. Physiatrists are your first stop on your rehabilitation journey, directing physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, athletic trainers, social workers, and more to help you improve function and restore your quality of life. Our physiatrists collaborate with health care professionals across Rochester Regional Health and the Neuroscience Institute to provide seamless, patient-centered care.
