Louis Longobardo, OTR/L studied at Quinnipiac University, earning both his Bachelor of Health Science degree and Master of Occupational Therapy degree.

Working in healthcare runs in Louis’ family: both of his parents are in the field, and his grandfather was a doctor. It’s no surprise that Louis was inspired to become an occupational therapist. To Louis, the most fulfilling thing about his job is watching his patients evolve and improve, beginning from their evaluation to when they have completed their treatment and are discharged. Louis especially loves to hear how after working with him, his patients are able to get back to their prior level of function and can participate in their daily activities again.

Louis enjoys spending his free time in the outdoors; his favorite place to vacation is Vermont.
