A Therapist Who Treats
People, Not Diagnoses
For over 30 years, I've helped people restore their movement, rebuild their strength, and reclaim the parts of their life that pain has taken away. I began my career in 1996 with a simple belief: when you treat people with time, intention, and hands‑on expertise, their bodies respond with clarity and power.
As the owner and operator of Quality Care Physical Therapy, PC, I've served New York City through thousands of one‑on‑one sessions — integrating manual therapy, movement science, and human performance into a single, coherent system of care. My work spans orthopedic rehabilitation, spine care, post‑surgical recovery, sports injuries, and long‑term wellness for people who want to move through life with strength and confidence.
I built my practice outside the limitations of insurance because I believe healing should be guided by clinical judgment, not billing codes. My approach is personal, direct, and intentional. Every session is one‑on‑one. Every treatment plan is individualized. Every patient receives the full attention of a clinician who has spent decades refining the craft of physical therapy.
Born in the Philippines and shaped by the intensity of New York City, I bring a blend of discipline, compassion, and precision to my work. My goal is simple: help people move better, think clearer, and live stronger — without barriers, without shortcuts, and without compromise.
How I Practice
One‑on‑One Care Creates Real Change
Healing happens when a clinician is fully present. I work with one patient at a time, giving each person the focused attention needed to understand their body, their movement, and the root cause of their pain.
The Body Responds to Skilled Hands
Manual therapy is at the center of my practice. With decades of experience, I use precise, hands‑on techniques to restore mobility, reduce pain, and activate the body's natural ability to heal.
Freedom From Insurance Creates Better Outcomes
I operate as a cash‑based, out‑of‑network clinic because true rehabilitation requires time, intention, and individualized care — not rushed sessions or insurance‑driven limitations. My patients receive what they need, not what a policy allows.
The Result: Care Designed Around You
A physical therapy experience that is personal, direct, and high‑quality — rooted in mastery and designed around the patient, not the system. This is Quality Care Physical Therapy.

Why Jose Chose to Practice
Without Insurance Limitations
"I spent years watching insurance companies dictate how many visits a patient could have, what treatments were 'covered,' and when they were supposedly 'better.' The reality is that healing doesn't follow a billing schedule."
"When I transitioned to a cash-based model, everything changed. I could spend the time each patient actually needed. I could use the techniques that actually worked. And my patients got better — faster, more completely, and with far less frustration."
