About

Dr. Erby joined Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital in 2021 and St. Peter's Musculoskeletal Medicine in 2022 (renamed St. Peter's Sports & Spine in 2024) as a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician. He earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from the Stony Brook School of Medicine and a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Genetics from the University of Rochester.

Dr. Erby completed his internship in Internal Medicine at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson, NY, and a residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at New York Presbyterian Hospital including training at Columbia University Hospital, Weill Cornell Medicine, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, Blythedale Children's Hospital, and Hospital for Special Surgery.

Dr. Erby cares for patients presenting with musculoskeletal pain and injury, with a specific professional interest in the care and treatment of joint dysfunction, concussion management, and adolescent athletes.

“My focus is to provide the most effective and individually appropriate management recommendations and interventions to each patient who presents to my clinic. I believe that educating patients and providing resources for understanding the cause of their musculoskeletal injury, dysfunction, or pain source, as well as the treatment options available, is key to exceptional patient care. Whether your goal is to get back on the field, improve your overall health, control your pain, or return to the activities that you enjoy, my focus is on helping you recover and get back to your life.”

Dr Erby, talk to you like a friend and not like a patient, he always makes me feel comfortable. He is the only male doctor that I have under my care. I prefer females just to feel more comfortable.
