Dr. Sammy Masri is an exceptional physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of non-surgical sports and other musculoskeletal injuries. He easily gains the trust of his patients – and others – through his honesty and supportive nature and is the type of person who consistently makes himself available to help others succeed.
Dr. Masri has an extensive background in sports since being a varsity starter on his high school’s baseball and football teams, and then moved on and played American Legion baseball and had an opportunity to play for a NJ semi-professional football team.
In 2003, he received his Internal Medicine degree from The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in Newark, and following his residency was accepted into a very competitive fellowship program in Primary Care Sports Medicine at Jersey Shore Medical Center. It was there that Dr. Masri was able to learn from one of the founding fathers of this new and growing field of medicine.
He also worked as an assistant to the Rutgers University team physician and was on the sidelines of some exciting football games, including the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida. He’s covered numerous special events including the NCAA men’s Basketball Tournament, Big East Track and Field Finals, U.S. Masters Swim Meet and the NYC Marathon, and has also worked as a sports physician for the Olympic Developmental Soccer Program for New Jersey’s finest young soccer athletes. Prior to opening his practice in Sports Medicine, he worked in the ER at Hackensack University Medical Center, where he still holds medical staff privileges.
Dr. Masri has committed himself to the philosophy that a sound mind and body are quintessential to success in the athletic arena. Who understands this philosophy better than a physician who is also an athlete?
