February 18, 20225-STAR Care!! In my 60 some years of injuries and rehabbing from them (at least 12 different facilities) Carmine and his Team are the BEST. No, he doesn't pay for his customer's to write positive reviews. This team makes you feel welcome, comfortable and confident they are doing the best for each individual coming in the door, each time. I usually dread going to PT, but they make it fun, friendly and informative each visit. I appreciate the great communication, feedback, and attention to what I am telling them each visit. It makes me feel confident I am receiving the top notch service I want to heal and strengthen my injury, so I can get back to doing what I enjoy. You will not be disappointed by coming here for rehabilitation.

April 19, 2022I had a bad knee injury playing soccer this year. Two days after getting surgery I was in Carmine's office for my first PT session. Carmine literally helped me get back on my feet. I stopped feeling significant pain after 2 weeks and was able to walk without crutches. He has educated me on what I need to do on a daily basis to get back to playing my sport again. He has as much experience as I've been alive. Go to him if you want someone serious about your recovery.

Carmaine was highly recommended to me when I needed physical therapy for crippling hip pain. The therapy I received from Carmine, as well as his staff, was outstanding, and I am now pain free. Carmaine is truly an expert at what he does. He is so experienced, compassionate, gives thorough explanations on everything done, and his therapy is the best. Now I definitely highly recommend Carmaine to anyone in need of physical therapy!

February 1, 2023Carmine came highly recommended from my knee surgeon. Oh my goodness am I glad I picked him. He has a small suite and you get tons of personal attention between him and his staff. So I put my trust in Carmine and 4 1/2 weeks later I’m pain free and playing tennis! He gave me at home exercises to do. He answered honestly any and all questions that I had. He’s available via text as well for the quick questions. Not to mention that the same people that go for PT the same time as myself become this little family. It was great experience and I’d highly recommend him to anyone who needs PT!

April 20, 2022Carmine and his whole team are all outstanding! I highly recommend!! I went in for physical therapy as a conservative approach to treat long-term tendinitis in my elbow and subsequent shoulder pain from overcompensating. I had been dealing with this pain for over 2 years and had tried cortisone shots as well as following an exercise routine on my own, none of which helped. However, working with Carmine over the last 6 weeks has helped me dramatically! I have no pain in my elbow or shoulder, have been able to gain strength again, and I’m finally aware of the actions I was performing that were flaring up my pain. In addition to all of this, the environment is warm and friendly and fun! I felt like I became part of their work family, and I’m actually going to miss seeing them all!
