Local Roots.
Expert Care.
Born and raised in Buffalo, Matthew and Tanner built Black Tooth Physio to bring elite rehab and performance care to Buffalo.
After years of practicing in Buffalo, Matt and Tanner knew they wanted to build something of their own. A clinic rooted in local relationships, high standards, and long-term care.
​
They envisioned a space where expert physical therapy and performance services could exist under one roof. A place where decisions were made locally and quality of care always came first.
Why We Started
Raised Local. Doctorate trained. Proud to serve Buffalo.
