Dr. Steven Ross is a board-certified physician specializing in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, also known as PM&R. His work focuses on helping patients better understand how injuries and movement-related conditions affect mobility, physical function, and daily life.
Many patients do not begin with a diagnosis. Instead, they notice subtle changes over time.
Walking may feel different. Sitting longer becomes uncomfortable. Movements that once felt automatic begin requiring more attention.
Those changes are not always tied to one simple cause. Rehabilitation medicine often looks at the bigger picture, including nerves, muscles, joints, movement patterns, and recovery goals.
Dr. Ross has experience evaluating trauma-related musculoskeletal conditions associated with:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Workplace injuries
- Slip and fall incidents
- Neck, back, and joint discomfort
He completed his residency training at Rusk Rehabilitation at NYU Langone Medical Center and earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine.
Patients across Queens and Long Island may already recognize Dr. Ross for his calm, patient-centered approach from his years of caring for patients in Valley Stream, Rego Park, Bellerose, and Medford, as well as for his experience coordinating care for injury-related cases involving New York No-Fault and Workers’ Compensation claims.
Care Focused on Movement, Recovery, and Daily Function
Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation differs from many traditional specialties because the focus is often centered on function, mobility, and overall quality of movement.
For many people, discomfort develops gradually. Daily routines that once felt automatic can start requiring more effort over time. Sitting through a commute feels less comfortable. Certain movements become more noticeable. In some cases, recovery after an injury takes longer than expected.
Rehabilitation-focused care looks at how pain, stiffness, weakness, or injury affects everyday movement and physical function. Care plans can include diagnostic evaluation, physical therapy, rehabilitation strategies, and minimally invasive pain management depending on each patient’s needs and goals.
