Johnny Gonzalez, PT, DPT

As a physical therapist at Rusk Rehabilitation at NYU Langone in Florida, I specialize in restoring physical function for individuals with orthopedic and neurologic conditions. My clinical interests include treating postoperative recovery, athletic injuries, pediatric orthopedic conditions, and vestibular disorders. I emphasize understanding each patient’s unique needs and creating individualized treatment plans to support their health and wellness goals. I am dedicated to empowering patients through education and active engagement, fostering confidence and promoting long-term success throughout rehabilitation.

My career has been grounded in utilizing innovative techniques to optimize patient outcomes. My extensive experience addressing the challenges faced by individuals with orthopedic and neurologic conditions has honed my skills in delivering personalized, effective care. Committed to building strong patient-provider relationships, I ensure my patients feel supported, informed, and involved at every stage of their journey.

I earned my doctorate in physical therapy from Columbia University in May 2023 and served as a clinical instructor, mentoring students pursuing careers in physical therapy. A native New Yorker fluent in English and Spanish, I value fostering meaningful connections with patients from diverse backgrounds. My passion for physical therapy stems from a desire to help individuals regain independence and improve their quality of life. Driven by this motivation, I have pursued advanced training and certification in specialized orthopedic techniques to better serve patients with complex medical needs.

At NYU Langone Health, I am proud to be part of a compassionate team dedicated to delivering the highest standard of coordinated care.
