Meet Dr. Massimi

Dr. Stephen Massimi is a board-certified physiatrist who is fellowship trained in Interventional Spine and Sports Medicine. He has dedicated his career to the nonsurgical treatment of spine and hip conditions, and he is known for his expertise in providing patients with a precise diagnosis. Dr. Massimi takes pride in educating his patients and guiding them toward effective, personalized treatment plans – often incorporating advanced physical therapy programs and minimally invasive procedures to help them regain function and improve quality of life.

Our Unique Approach & Why it Matters

Conditions of the spine and hip are common, yet too often misdiagnosed. This can result in a frustrating care journey, wasted time, unnecessary expenses, and diminished quality of life. Dr. Massimi emphasizes the importance of establishing an accurate and specific diagnosis, which is achieved not just through x-rays or MRIs, but rather through a skillful history, physical exam, and years of experience treating thousands of patients successfully.
