Alan Stupnitsky, MD

At the core of Physiatry lies a philosophy deeply rooted in patient-centered care. As a physiatrist, I believe that each patient is unique, with their own distinct goals, needs, and aspirations. My approach extends beyond simply treating symptoms; I strive to focus on the whole person and identify the underlying diagnosis. By comprehensively evaluating the impact of injury, illness, or disability on a patient’s physical, emotional, and social functioning, I will develop personalized treatment plans that incorporate a wide range of modalities, such as physical therapy, assistive devices, medication management, and therapeutic interventions. Ultimately, my aim is to optimize function and enhance quality of life, and I look forward to collaborating with my patients to help them thrive!
