Nikolas Rivera is a licensed physical therapist from New Milford, NJ, currently treating patients in Cresskill. He earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Saint Joseph’s University (formerly University of the Sciences) in Philadelphia, PA.

Nikolas was drawn to physical therapy by his belief that everyone has the potential for progress—they just need the right support and direction. He takes pride in helping patients regain strength, mobility, and independence, and finds fulfillment in creating positive, lasting impacts on their health and well-being.

In the clinic, Nikolas focuses on building strong relationships with his patients and tailoring care to their individual goals. Whether helping someone return to daily activities or guiding them through rehab after injury, his approach is both supportive and results-driven.

Outside of work, Nikolas enjoys spending time with family and friends, going hiking and running, and is always on the lookout for a new pizza place to try.
