Daniel Witkowski PT, DPT

Daniel started his work with concussions while pursuing his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree.  His graduate research was focused on working with Collegiate Football players to compare a new sideline testing tool (King Devick Test) to the widely accepted and gold standard ImPACT computer-based concussion test.  After graduation Daniel led the Concussion, Vestibular, and Balance caseload for a busy East Coast clinic, with patient populations ranging from pediatric to geriatric age groups.
