Growing up in my hometown of North Bergen, NJ, I was an avid sports fan and participant. I played many sports growing up in this urban city and was was often seen rooting for my beloved NY Mets, Giants and Rangers.
Perhaps my passion for sports was why I wanted to become a sports photographer. Capturing fast-moving things with a camera and combining it with athletics seemed like an exciting career goal until I realized I wanted to help people as a healthcare provider. I crossed the Hudson River into New York City for medical training, graduating from the physical therapy program at New York University.
As a physical therapist, I use knowledge of the body to enhance a patient’s health through touch. The rewarding part of my job is using my hands as a means of healing people. I believe if a patient receives access to physical therapy for a musculoskeletal problem and takes an active role in their care, they can reduce the need for expensive and unnecessary tests and medication.
I live in Freehold with my wife and two children. When my kids, who are now in college, were small, I coached their baseball, soccer, and basketball teams. When not at work you can find me on a golf course, hopefully acing a hole on the first swing while enjoying the competition and friendship with my golf buddies. Or you might find me relieving stress by weight training in the gym, where I focus on staying fit to maintain the strength needed to work in a physically demanding profession.
Last but not least, I enjoy satisfying my childhood quest to capture motion by riding through the night air on my Harley-Davidson Motorcycle.

"I have an 'L5' problem that's been plaguing me for over 40 years. I went to Dr. David Bertone and I've been spasm free and have strength and mobility that I've not had in years."

"David Bertone, of dB Orthopedic Physical Therapy, PC was recommended to me by 2 of his patients. My experience in his office was a positive one. Dr. Bertone maintains a very professional practice and I would offer him as a referral to anyone I knew in need of that services."

I can neither spell nor pronounce the treatments Dr. Bertone provided. But on 3 occasions, over 10 years, I was in relentless neck and back agony. He fixed me and I fully suspect he saved me from surgery.
"Thank you for all you did for my son, to heal and condition his body, to refresh his spirits and give him a ray of hope - that given a chance to show what he could do, he could once again prove himself as he has done on every team he played on."
