 "He is a true professional and obviously loves helping athletes rehabilitate and overcome injuries...I owe Dr. Longobardi a great debt of gratitude for the role he played in my recovery.  The passion he displays cannot be overstated.  It was extremely beneficial because it motivated me to match his enthusiasm throughout the rehabilitation process...Dr. Longobardi did an excellent job connecting with me and gaining my trust.  His experience and passion for helping athletes was clearly evident from our very first meeting."


Darius continues a successful  football career at Boston College after being sidelined  by a serious ankle injury  early last season. Despite requiring surgery, Darius was able to return for the later part of his season and play in BC’s January Bowl Game.  By thoroughly  reviewing the injury and truly empathizing with Darius about his concerns in getting back on the field in full form and as soon as possible,  Dr. Longobardi was able to repair his ankle, navigate his rehabilitation, thus expediting  his recovery, yet ensuring a positive outcome for his future.
