About the clinician

Dr. Nicholas Hershfield

PT, DPT, OCS

Dr. Hershfield is a Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) — a distinction held by fewer than 10% of physical therapists in the United States — with 8+ years of clinical experience at the Hospital for Special Surgery, the nation’s #1-ranked orthopedic hospital.

Opus was built around a simple belief: patients deserve more time, more attention, and more personalized care than a traditional insurance-based model allows. Every Opus client works directly with Dr. Hershfield — every session, without exception. No aides. No hand-offs. No rushing.

As a former collegiate baseball player, he brings firsthand athletic experience to every session — connecting deeply with active individuals and athletes who want to recover fully and perform at their best.

Client stories

What clients actually say

★★★★★

“I came in barely able to walk after my knee replacement and left feeling stronger than I had in years.”

Margaret T.

Upper East Side · Post-Surgical

★★★★★

“Nick is in a different league. He listens, he explains, and he gets results. The only PT I’d recommend without hesitation.”

Sarah K.

Midtown · Wellness

★★★★★

“After my rotator cuff surgery I was nervous about recovery. Nick designed a program that was challenging but safe — I was back on the golf course faster than my surgeon expected.”

Common questions

Do you accept insurance?

Opus operates on a private-pay basis. This allows every session to be fully focused on you — no restrictions, no rushing, no compromises. We provide documentation for potential out-of-network reimbursement.

How is Opus different from a traditional PT clinic?

Every session is one-on-one with Dr. Hershfield — no aides, no hand-offs. We come to you. Sessions run the full time, and your care plan is built around your life, not a template.

Where do sessions take place?

At your home or office in Manhattan and Brooklyn, at Fitness Lounge (1695 1st Ave, Upper East Side), or virtually throughout NY and CT. We work around your schedule and preference.
