Dr. Joseph Paul Caruso, MSPT DPT
In Loving Memory

Dr. Joseph Paul Caruso

MSPT, DPT, CMT, CSCS · 1976 – 2020

On July 3, 2020, we lost a real-life superhero when Dr. Joe traded his cape for wings after his 14-year battle with brain cancer. He changed the world, defied the odds, and served as an inspirational husband, father, mentor, friend, and community servant.

His soul and his passion live on in the little things around us. We continue to live out his mission through Caruso Physical Therapy and Nutrition — and we work hard every day to make him proud.

We love you, Dr. Joe.
