Bio

After completing my Doctorate degree at Ithaca College, I started right away with Professional Physical Therapy. I started as an intern at our Midtown location, and then moved to our Mamaroneck facility where I became a staff Physical Therapist. My hard working, and caring attitude towards my patients showed and in two years I was named Clinical Director of our Hartsdale location. I've treated patients of all ages, from 6 years old to 96 years old! I also enjoy working with weekend warriors, and student athletes. There isn't an impairment that I cannot treat, and every patient will get my absolute best! Not only do patients show improvement after starting with us at Hartsdale, but they enjoy the positive and inviting atmosphere created by all our staff!

Bio

Allison became interested in the field of physical therapy after tearing her ACL while competing in gymnastics on her high school team. She underwent surgery and was amazed at how much physical therapy helped her regain strength and mobility, and allowed her to be able to participate in dance and gymnastics once again. She went on to graduate with her Bachelors of Science in Exercise Science and minor in Psychology at Rutgers University in 2003, then graduate from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, School of Health Related Professional with a doctoral degree in Physical Therapy in 2007. Throughout her undergraduate and graduate education, Allison worked as an aide in an outpatient orthopedic physical therapy clinic with the therapists who treated her years before. Allison began her career working in outpatient, sub acute, and acute care settings. After several years, Allison began working in pediatrics and spent 8 years working in one of the largest ventilator dependent pediatric facilities in the country with children who are medically complex. She has extensive experience working with early intervention and preschool children, as well as children in a school setting. Allison has studied the Halliwick method of aquatic therapy and specializes in pediatric aquatic therapy. She spends most Saturday mornings in the pool with children with a variety of acquired and genetic conditions ranging in age from 6 months to 21 years old. After 8 years, Allison decided to return to the outpatient orthopedic setting and brings with her the lessons she has learned in working with children and their families: patience, a teams based approach, collaboration, creativity, flexibility, and positivity. She sees patients as whole people and believes that listening to patients is just as important as the treatments she provides to them, and strives to empower patients to take charge of their recovery and become as independent as possible.

Bio

I was born in Guyana, South America. I was a lover of all things. I participated in sports, music, dance, acting, academics and I found that I enjoyed them all. I studied Jazz vocal performance as an associate's degree and went on to finish my BA in Marketing. I decided to pursue PT after my cousin was tragically hit my a car. He was in a coma for over a month, and when he awoke, he needed therapy to relearn every human task. I was so memorized by his recovery and the professionals that helped bring him back to the healthy, happy boy he was. I knew then, that PT was what I needed to do with my life. The rest is history.
