Dr. Cole's path to becoming a restorative medicine expert was shaped by his own health challenges. In 2003, a life-threatening car accident forced him to pivot from his initial career path as an orthopedic surgeon. This personal struggle led him to specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation, completing his training at the NYU Rusk Institute in 2004.
His journey didn't end there. In 2013, Dr. Cole faced another health crisis when a cervical decompression surgery nearly left him quadriplegic. Rather than opting for a traditional four-level cervical fusion with its low success rate, he turned to restorative treatments. The success of these treatments in his own recovery further fueled his passion for restorative medicine.
For nearly two decades, Dr. Cole has built a successful practice focused on outpatient-based restorative and orthopedic medicine. His approach is summed up in his motto: "FIND IT, and FIX IT." This philosophy aims to get patients back to their lives faster and with improved function compared to traditional medical approaches.
