A native of South Orange County, Dr. Victor Rusenescu has been in the physical therapy industry since
1999 — nearly three decades spent in and around the same community he grew up in. He earned his doctoral
degree from Loma Linda University in 2007 and has spent the years since building OCPT into a practice
known for getting people back to their actual lives, not just out of pain.
His clinical reputation rests on judgment. Decades of pattern recognition mean he sees things earlier
and more accurately than protocol allows for — and he stays deliberately current, tracking new research
in rehabilitation, movement science, nutrition, and recovery so that his patients benefit from what's
working now rather than what was standard a decade ago. For complex or long-standing cases that haven't
responded elsewhere, that depth of experience is often the difference.
He also understands his patients from the inside. Victor is a lifelong athlete — cycling, running,
golf, and tennis — and has worked through many of the same injuries and limitations his clients bring
him. That informs a genuinely conservative philosophy: pursuing every avenue of movement-based recovery
before surgery, injections, or invasive procedures enter the conversation. For concierge patients, that
means an owner-level clinician who will tell you honestly what your body needs, and what it doesn't.
Victor and his wife, Janet, a perinatal RN, built OCPT around a straightforward principle — that people
deserve care from someone genuinely invested in the outcome. Nearly thirty years in, that hasn't
changed.
