Testimonials

  • 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!!

    Carmine J. Chioccariello is bar none the best PT, period! I have seen him work with my husband’s complete shoulder replacement as well as with my meniscus repair. My mother now need PT and I would not consider taking her anywhere except to Carmine. Beyond his amazing knowledge and experience, he is thoughtful and considerate. I love the compassion that he shows everyone, no matter how old or how extensive the rehabilitation. His staff is also awesome, totally a reflection of Carmine’s management and mission. You are not going to get a “cookie-cutter” experience here. Carmine is 100% hands on which means you get his extensive knowledge and a much faster recovery time.

    Carmine, Haley and Aisia are awesome! From my first visit with Carmine I knew I’d come to the right place. It’s obvious that he and his team genuinely love their work. I would recommend Carmine to everyone I know without question. They truly earn 5 stars.

  • I had surgery for a torn ACL in May of this year and was given high recommendations to see Carmine for physical therapy. I couldn’t be happier that I followed those recommendations. Since the beginning of my PT sessions, Carmine and his team have tailored my rehab around how my knee was recovering, encouraging me to listen to how my body was responding to exercises and not pushing harder than what my knee was willing to handle. That philosophy has led to great progress 3 months post-surgery. In addition to the confidence I have in Carmine’s practice, the culture he has built at his office is second to none. It is an incredibly friendly environment - Carmine and his team truly care about the folks they are helping recover from injury. Perhaps you shouldn’t enjoy PT as much as I have, but Carmine and his team make sessions something to look forward to and I have been grateful for that. I would highly recommend Carmine to anyone looking for a PT - you won’t be disappointed.

    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!

    Carmine and his staff are awesome. They genuinely care about their patients and it shows. I have been seeing him for PT after my knee surgery. He pushes me just enough to reach my goals but not over do things. They are also very flexible with scheduling which helps tremendously when you are self employed. I would definitely recommend them to anyone I know.
