Dan Carroll

PT, FAAOMPT
Physical Therapist

I was raised in Rockaway, NJ and attended Morris Hills High School and then the University of Scranton. Shortly after graduation, I enrolled in a manual therapy certification program with the Manual Therapy Institute. I then completed their AAOMPT credentialled Manual Therapy Fellowship. I later became certified in Vestibular Rehabilitation via the American Institute of Balance (AIB).

I have always worked in private practice. I began my career with a larger private corporate group and quickly found their approach to patient care did not align with my core values. From there, I moved from private practice to private practice until I found one that was well-run and aligned with my values. The owner of that practice served as a mentor for me and helped me open my own practice. I am happy to be in business serving my community for over 10 years.

My goal is to make patients’ concerns less complex and empower them to take an active approach to getting better.

I aim to simplify the PT process for patients. All too often we over complicate things unnecessarily. PT should be simple: Move that which is stiff. Strengthen/condition that which is weak. Stabilize that which is less controlled. If I follow this approach and explain a patient’s concerns from this view point, it empowers patients so that they can actively participate in the process of getting better.

There is no specific condition I enjoy treating – It’s not the condition that is enjoyable, it’s the patient who is committed to the process that makes it fun.

I enjoy owning and working at Carroll Physical Therapy because of the autonomy and control it grants me. Both allow me the ability to make the best decisions for my patients, my colleagues, my business, and my family.

When I’m not treating patients, I enjoy family time–fishing, boating, hiking, etc. with my wife, two children and dog Reilly (who is in training to be our in-office therapy dog). I also enjoy playing sports with my kids and coaching youth sports.

I’ve been a patient of Dan Carroll’s and I would give Carroll PT 10 stars if I could. This is a first rate organization of therapists who get to know their patients and genuinely care about them. I went in with neck pain that I’d had for over a year. The therapy sessions were informative and kind, and I learned a lot. It was my happy place. Dan gave me invaluable advice for working with my neck that I could use after our therapy sessions were completed, and happily I have not had a recurrence of any neck pain. That was a year ago. Recently I returned with lower back pain. I had the same excellent experience.Nizam’s encouraging and curious nature helped me question my own beliefs about my injury [ meniscus knee tear] and recovery. I have a better quality of life, can walk better and enjoy my at home practice to sustain my progress. My knee is pain free and I am able to walk with ease and practice my yoga daily. That was not the case when I began my PT.Tony, my husband, also worked with Nizam on a shoulder injury and was very happy with the outcome. Tony feels Nizam’s approach is highly professional and tailored specifically to his patients needs. Tony’s shoulder pain is gone and he is able to return to normal life. Our heartfelt ‘Thank you ‘to Nzam and Carroll PT for a service and staff that are Elite! We have no hesitation in returning if ever we need to and recommending Nizam to others.

I can not say enough about my excellent experience with Carroll Physical Therapy! I went to Dan Carroll after having a knee replacement that was not progressing well and continued after having my other knee replaced in June. Dan was beyond instrumental in my recovery. This is not a facility with just status quo directives – they think out of the box and tailor treatment based on your personal needs. Dan is also incredibly caring and personally vested in your recovery ! I also worked with Dan Streeter who is equally caring, vested, knowledgeable and professional. Sara and Mary also stepped in to help me and they are also fantastic! The office staff including Stacy, Janine and Abby are very responsive, so helpful and very pleasant to work with ! My experience has been great all around! If you need physical therapy – this is definitely your place!
