Peter Schmaus
MD, FAAPMR

Doctor's Biography

Dr. Schmaus, physical medicine and rehabilitation physician, is a well-known speaker on the topics of ergonomics, spine injury prevention, and repetitive strain injury, and he has consulted for several large corporations. As an avid traveler, scuba diver, and snow skier, he has authored several articles about pre-season conditioning, snow sports, and scuba injuries. He is also a senior attending at Hackensack University Medical Center.

A strong advocate for team-based care, Dr. Schmaus works closely with physical therapists and chiropractors. He incorporates Yoga, Pilates, and Tai Chi in his exercise-based approach and has also worked with practitioners who specialize in the Alexander, Chek, and Feldenkrais techniques. This conservative approach usually helps patients avoid surgery, but when surgery is necessary, he works with highly skilled surgeons to ensure patients have the best outcomes.

Both the doctor and his assistant were thorough and professional. All questions were answered and I felt very comfortable with their bedside manner. A few months ago I had a family gathering and I was in so much pain that I called for an appointment with Dr. Schmaus. I was seen immediately and given a shot that saved my weekend in Boston. Thank you.

Dr. Schmaus showed genuine interest in the problem I’ve been having with pain in my lower extremities. He discussed immediately his findings with the EMG he did for me in his office. Furthermore, Dr Schmaus provided me with intelligent recommendations and a treatment plan. I highly recommend this doctor!

Dr Schmaus is an excellent doctor. First off, most doctors are always behind schedule and you sit for up to an hour or more additional time, waiting for you scheduled appointment. Dr Schmaus is actually on time, in fact they took me earlier than my scheduled 10:30 appointment time. That was a refreshing bonus. He is efficient yet thorough, taking additional time to discuss what proceedures and any concerns you may have. You never feel rushed or like a number. He is a doctor that is outstanding at his craft, and will give you non biased practical advice, helping each patient navigate the pathway to better outcomes. I wholeheartedly would recommend him to anyone looking for a doctor in his field of expertise.

Our initial doctor who treats my mom was temporary filled in by an amazing gentleman who within 2 days was able to in office treat the pain that my mom was experiencing.
It's extremely refreshing to experience a staff that functions with excellence and kindness. Very attentive compassionate and accommodating.. and if I didn't mention the perfect rocket fuel coffee in the office it would be a disservice all around top notch
Dr.schmaus.thank you for going above and beyond for my mom . absolutely priceless.

As usual, my visit with Dr Shmaus was informative, encouraging, and relaxing . Dr Shmaus’s personality is one that causes a sense of relief which I feel aids any positive effect meditation may bring.
Thank you Dr Shmaus !
