Connellsville, PA · The staff
Dr. Max Queale.
A licensed physical therapist who came to the doctorate by way of athletic training, with a bachelor of science and a DPT both from Wheeling Jesuit University.
How Dr. Queale got here.
Max grew up in Greensburg where he graduated from GCC before attending Wheeling Jesuit University from 2008 to 2012. There, he earned his bachelors degree in athletic training and was a four year member of the swim team, specializing in the 50yd, 100yd, and 200yd freestyle. He continued on and earned his doctorate of physical therapy from WJU in late 2014.
Max worked at UPMC Mercy from 2015 until 2020 as an inpatient/acute care physical therapist where he gained experience in cardiopulmonary conditions, stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, acute post operative orthopedic conditions, trauma/burn, and carved a niche in the med/surg ICU. He is a 2018 recipient of the UPMC ACES (Award for Commitment and Excellence in Services), which is awarded to fewer than 1% of employees across the healthcare system for exemplifying UPMC’s five core values. Max relocated back home to Greensburg in 2020 to resume his passion for outpatient care where he continued to strive to provide the highest quality care for patients in his home town. Max joined King Physical Therapy in February, 2026 and immediately felt at home along side high-performing, driven professionals who pride themselves in providing the highest quality care and are constantly bettering themselves.

Dr. Queale, outside the clinic.
Max enjoys spending too much time on his lawn, hunting, fishing, shooting, archery, and fitness (in all of its forms except running). His number one hobby, however, is chasing after his kids like a headless chicken

The people who end up filling this out are rarely in the worst pain of their life. They’re just done working around it, done picking the errand that doesn’t require the stairs. If that’s the stage you’re at, this is the part where you stop researching and start.
