A Registered Occupational Therapist specializing in recovery of the hand, Mackangelo has experience in treating conditions including, but not limited to: carpal tunnel, trigger finger, extensor/flexor tendon repair, distal radius fx, and osteoarthritis.

Reflecting his commitment to providing occupational therapy services across different healthcare settings, Mackangelo works at Springtree Health & Rehabilitation Center in Sunrise, Florida; at Med Diagnostic Rehab of South Florida, Inc. in an Outpatient Hands Clinic; and at Aim Rehab Services, Inc., located in Coral Springs, in another Outpatient Clinic.

His educational journey began at Coral Springs Charter, where he earned his High School Diploma in 2016. Subsequently, Mackangelo pursued a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health Professions and Related Clinical Sciences at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), which he completed in 2020.

Occupational therapy is a healthcare profession that involves the use of assessment and intervention to develop, recover, or maintain the meaningful activities, or occupations, of individuals, groups, or communities. Occupational therapists are health care professionals specializing in occupational therapy and occupational science. OTs and occupational therapy assistants use scientific bases and a holistic perspective to promote a person’s ability to fulfill their daily routines and roles.

Having actively engaged in several volunteer roles to make a positive impact, Mackangelo dedicated nine months, from September 2019 to May 2020, to the Healthcare Careers Outreach Program as a Student Volunteer. In this role, he collaborated with highly motivated students from local middle schools and high schools, fostering their interest in the medical field through engaging activities, including gross anatomy labs. Simultaneously, he volunteered for FAU’s Standardized Patient Program from September 2018 to May 2020.

Additionally, in September 2019, Mackangelo spent one month volunteering for Julia’s Star Foundation, Inc, a noble initiative focused on supporting pediatric cancer patients and their families while also contributing to awareness and research funding in the realm of children’s healthcare. 

Mackangelo was honored as an ACE Top Executive Intern in May of 2016, and his association with Maplewood Wellness Center marked this achievement. This prestigious award is bestowed upon Executive Interns who have not only successfully fulfilled the requirements of their internship but have also garnered high praise from their mentors.
