Sherry Dubash
Hello, my name is Sheherezad (Sherry) Dubash and I am a board certified physical therapist in the state of New York. I started my physical therapy career in 2011 after graduating from The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) and prior to that receiving a bachelors from Rutgers University, specializing in Exercise Science and Nutrition in 2008.
Having worked in previous physical therapy clinics that were overcrowded and double booked with patients, I noticed the quality of care was severely compromised. Patients took longer to get better and achieve their goals because not enough focused one-on-one time was available. I am a PT that values quality over quantity, targeted yet holistic treatment and prevention after recovery. Having adopted the one-on-one office based PT model—there is a striking increase in quicker recovery time, a decrease in re-injury and excellent compliance due to convenience.
I believe it is my responsibility to myself and my patients to partake in continuing education as a clinician. I have received further training as a Registered Yoga Teacher (200-RYT) from Bright Spirit Yoga in 2015, a Certified Kinesiotaping Practitioner ® in 2013, and a Level I Reiki practitioner in 2013. My passion is working exclusively with musculoskeletal and orthopedic injuries using a creative approach
— incorporating manual therapy techniques, yoga principles, and Kinesiotaping ®.​
The integration of yoga into my professional and personal practice has changed my life in more ways than I expected. The focus of my classes are to bring about organic movement with slow and careful attention to breath and alignment; music is atmospheric. I appreciate everyone’s unique motivation to practice yoga and can help create a supportive environment to help discover the vast benefits it offers. ​
When I am not working, I like to run, travel, try out new recipes, spend time with family and friends or go for a hike with my pup!
Marie Pauline Mendoza
Pelvic Health & Prenatal/Postpartum Specialization
Hi everyone, my name is Marie Pauline (Pauline) Mendoza. I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in pelvic health rehabilitation, birth preparation, and postpartum care.
I interweave my solid orthopedic background with my specialization in pelvic physical therapy to address various conditions of the pelvic floor. I pride myself on providing a positive therapeutic experience by educating and helping patients to feel comfortable with my treatment techniques. Pregnancy is a beautiful, life-changing event that requires education and preparation. And I have made it my mission to help all moms receive individualized care for their pelvic health no matter what stage they are in their motherhood journey. I also recognize that pelvic floor conditions are often undiagnosed, relatively difficult to treat, and can tremendously impact a person’s life. I am dedicated and determined to bring these conditions to light and offer a holistic approach to addressing them.
I obtained my Doctorate Degree from Arcadia University and received advanced pelvic health training (Pelvic Health Level 1-3) through the Academy of Pelvic Health Physical Therapy. Currently in my final steps to receive my Certificate of Achievement in Pelvic Health (CAPP - Pelvic) from APTA Pelvic Health and working on my PRPC (Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner Certification) title from Herman & Wallace. I have also attended an intensive 12-week Pregnancy and Postpartum MasterCourse from New England Pelvic Doc Collective.
In my free time, I enjoy spending it with my fur baby, traveling, doing hot yoga, attending more pelvic health courses and reading.
Jillian Lye
Orthopedic/Sports Injury Physical Therapist
I was born and raised in Singapore, where my passion for sports and rehabilitation began. I earned my Bachelor of Physiotherapy from Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia, in 2015, and then I moved to the United States to complete my transitional doctorate at the University of Montana. In 2017, I made my way to New York City, bringing with me a diverse clinical background that includes experience in orthopedic and sports injuries, neurology, and pediatrics. I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of patients, from infants as young as 2 months to geriatric adults over 88 years old.
​
Having represented Singapore’s Junior Squash team growing up, I developed a strong interest in sports injury rehabilitation and prevention. I’ve experienced my fair share of minor injuries, which made me appreciate the high-quality care I received from my physical therapist. Their support helped me return to sports pain-free and avoid more serious injuries during my competitive years.
This experience shaped my goal of delivering individualized care to my patients, empowering and educating them throughout their rehabilitation journeys.
Currently, I’m an enthusiastic Olympic lifter and CrossFit lover. My CrossFit adventure began in 2019 when a friend invited me to a free community class. That experience was a turning point for me—I fell in love with the technical aspects of Olympic lifting and dedicated my continuing education to specialize in the rehabilitation of fitness athletes.
