Dr. Hershfield is a Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) — a distinction held by fewer than 10% of physical therapists in the United States. With 8+ years of clinical experience at the Hospital for Special Surgery, the nation’s #1-ranked orthopedic hospital, he brings elite institutional expertise directly to his clients through Opus.
His clinical focus spans orthopedic and sports rehabilitation across the spine, shoulder, hip, and knee — both non-operative and post-operative. As a former collegiate baseball player, he brings firsthand athletic experience to every session, connecting deeply with active individuals and athletes who want to recover efficiently and perform at their best.
Dr. Hershfield founded Opus to offer something most clinics can’t — truly personalized, one-on-one care delivered where it’s most convenient for you. Every session is with him directly. No aides, no hand-offs, no rushing.
