“Communication, education, and comprehension are the building blocks of a successful physical therapy treatment”

Dr. Eran Kabakov

Eran Kabakov, DPT, PT, has been treating people for over 35 years. He began his journey as an apprentice to a Shiatsu master, was certified as a massage therapist by the College for Natural Therapies in Tel Aviv, Israel as well as by Fylde School of Natural Therapies in the UK. Dr. Kabakov graduated as a Physical Therapist from the State University of New York at Buffalo, and received his Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of Montana. He has practiced in a variety of treatment environments, including hospital acute care, private outpatient orthopedic, independent living retirement communities, skilled nursing facilities and others.

Along the way Dr. Kabakov has identified a growing problem in healthcare. While treatments and therapies have evolved, patient-provider communication has not. Even today the verbal instruction remains the main way information is provided to patients. Dr. Kabakov founded a digital health start-up to solve this problem (www.doco.la). Now, patients receive e-prescriptions for educational courses containing relevant information for successful outcomes. A resource they can access 24/7/365.
