Meet Dr. Ethelynda Tolentino.
Dr. Tolentino is a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) physician who earned her medical degree from UERMMMC and completed her residency at the University of Cincinnati in Cincinnati, Ohio. She is board certified in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Pain Medicine through the American Board of Pain Medicine, bringing nearly 23 years of experience to her practice.
In the acute rehabilitation setting, a PM&R physician leads and coordinates the interdisciplinary team to ensure patients receive comprehensive, medically supervised rehabilitation. Dr. Tolentino manages complex medical conditions while guiding therapy plans, addressing pain, mobility limitations, neurologic recovery, and functional progress. Her role is centered on helping patients safely transition from acute illness or injury toward greater independence and return to daily life.
She finds deep fulfillment in seeing patients improve their function and regain independence through rehabilitation interventions. Her patient-centered approach focuses on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and helping individuals return to the activities that matter most to them.
Outside of work, Dr. Tolentino enjoys traveling, spending time with family and friends, and staying active through regular exercise.
