Meet Our Providers

Our team of providers are physiatrists with Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital, named a U.S. News & World Report Best Rehabilitation Hospital, and are seeing patients at St. Peter's Sports & Spine in Latham (which opened its doors in 2022 as St. Peter's Musculoskeletal Medicine). A physiatrist is a doctor who specializes in physical medicine and rehabilitation with a goal of helping patients recover their physical well-being and return to a healthy and functional life without surgery unless absolutely necessary. They do not perform surgery. 

William Douglas, D.O., CAQSM; Matthew Erby, M.D.; and Lucas First, M.D., are highly skilled physiatrists who work together to make sure you receive the best, most appropriate care possible. They are joined by Michael Plaisance, certified athletic trainer, who also serves as a provider for local sports teams.
