Testimonials

Absolutely the most professional, knowledgeable yet friendly medical related office I’ve ever been to. Carmine takes you where you are starting, is always honest in your progress and in what you can expect to realistically achieve. This is in a very supportive and encouraging way and I totally appreciated his realism. I can’t imagine a rehab practice being more successful. Carmine’s style treats each person and the case totally individually rather than here’s what’s being rehabilitated so do this…he takes all factors into consideration. Ditto to each person in his practice-knowledgeable warm and helpful. Many thanks!

April 4, 2022I have had several injuries and physical therapist in the past. Beyond a doubt, Carmine and his staff are the best. Carmine is the right combination of a therapist, analyst, coach, motivator, and friend. They make it a point to constantly monitor your progress and modify your program to maximize your recovery. As a surgeon, I’m glad to have Carmine in the community for both my patients and myself.

April 24, 2023Carmine is a wizard! The real deal with years of experience. I came in with a laminectomy.,a back surgery and waited a bit longer than I should have. He quickly knew my issue and proposed a treatment plan, facilitated by him and his very able associates.The atmosphere is calm and friendly and help is always available. Carmine is affable and deeply cares for his patients. I was very fortunate to have found him. I feel a hundred times better in a relatively short time. Run to him,( but take it easy), 🙂 He’s the best!

Not all PT is created equal I would highly recommend Carmine for your PT, especially if you are an athlete or even just an active person. I originally went to PT at a different place closer to my home after surgery for my ACL, and while they helped me with my recovery, I didn’t get fully back to 100%, as I had expected/hoped. I decided to try PT again, and went to Carmine based on the recommendation from my surgeon. Carmine took the time to make sure I understood the process, length of time it would take, and what my expectations should be for that recovery. He understood my goals and made sure we had a plan to get me back to 100%. He catered my treatment plan to my personality, goals and abilities. Carmine and his staff definitely had a focus on excellent customer service. I’m so thankful I went back to PT and tried a new place! Thank you, Carmine, Jackson & Asia!!

February 18, 2022Carmine, Haley, and Asia are the BEST! They have created a schedule of exercises to improve my core strength and support my back. Through my personalized program, I am building my strength and flexibility, thus relieving my back pain. I appreciate the individual attention and the friendly encouragement I am given. They have exceptional knowledge of the body, how to relieve pain, and what to do to help strengthen and encourage muscular healing, with a side of always being positive and helpful. I would recommend this place to my family and friends any day! The office is easy to get to and has plenty of parking space. The office environment is spotless, and the sports memorabilia on the walls add a nice personal touch to the decor. Did I mention that laughter is the best medicine? Well, you’ll find some of that there too!
