She was so kind, sweet and understanding. Since my first appointment I’ve been doing the stretches she recommended and intend to continue. She’s a very knowledgeable doctor.

Kara is very attentive and encouraging. She challenges me each day I come in and each day I leave feeling so much stronger than the last.

She has clinical experience working with a wide range of patient populations in multiple settings, including outpatient orthopedics, sports rehabilitation, acute medical/surgical intensive care units, and adult neurological rehabilitation.

Kara uses her trained eye in movement dysfunction, combined with a wide range of evidence-based treatment techniques, to identify the root of the problem and help her patients return to a full and healthy life. Kara has an interest in furthering her manual therapy skills with a focus in dance medicine. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Kara is a native of New York City and wouldn’t have it any other way. In her free time, Kara enjoys dancing, spending time with her friends and family, and eating a lot of Italian food.

Kara is very attentive and encouraging. She challenges me each day I come in and each day I leave feeling so much stronger than the last.
Kara was attentive and thorough. She explained the process and expectations and follows through. Kara really cares about her patients success and it shows.
Kara worked with me before and after my posterior cervical laminectomy with fusion for severe spinal cord compression. With her professional, caring approach, I am slowly regaining my balance and ability to walk independently.
Visits are always customized & thoughtful based on how my injury area is progressing with the program Kara's built for me. Kara works with my doctor, so I'm confident that everything she has me do moves me towards a better recovery. Feels better too.
Kara has been extremely professional and helpful in helping me rehab my knee. She's very organized, articulate, and knows how best to approach the problem.
I THINK THE THERAPISTS IN THIS CLINIC, ESPECIALLY KARA, ARE EXTREMELY RELIABLE AND GENUINELY CONCERNED FOR OUR WELL BEING. I FEEL AMAZINGLY COMFORTABLE WITH KARA BEING IN CHARGE OF MY CARE AND WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS CLINIC TO ANYONE.
Excellent help and friendly service. Kara listened to my issues, and tailors my therapy to my exact comfort and skill level, with ease,
My visits with Kara are always great & very helpful! It is always a fun time & I already feel improvement from my injury after a couple of sessions.
