Dr. Frank LaPuma
PT, DPT
Director of Operations, New Hartford Office

Dr. Frank LaPuma joins us with 25+ years of orthopedic and leadership experience. He earned his BS in Physical Therapy from Upstate Medical University and his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Utica College. Frank is certified in McKenzie Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment of Spine as well as being certified in Sportsmetrics ACL Injury Prevention. He chose physical therapy because his Godfather was a Pharmacist, and he was considering pharmacy until his senior year of high school when his Grandmother had a stroke, and he saw Physical Therapy work with her. Later that year, he was injured playing basketball and saw the sports medicine side of Physical Therapy and became further interested. He worked as an aide in the Physical Therapy Department at Ilion Hospital that summer and knew that is what he wanted to study. Outside of the office, Frank enjoys coaching youth sports (baseball, basketball, Track and Field). He lives with his wife and 2 children. He also enjoys boating and fishing.
