Meet the A’s of DoubleA
With more than nineteen years of combined experience, Anna and Angela bring extensive expertise in treating a diverse range of diagnoses and patient populations. During their time as physical therapists at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, they recognized a need for specialized physical therapy services in the home. A cancer diagnosis or chronic health condition can bring an already overwhelming number of appointments and added challenges to daily life.
