Susan Sorosky, MD
“Don’t live your life on the sidelines. As a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor specializing in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, I treat the whole patient, not just their symptoms. My philosophy is to develop individualized and comprehensive treatment programs to facilitate recovery and, furthermore, to prevent re-injury. Ultimately, my goal is to put people back into fully functional lives and get them back into the game.”
