  • I 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.

    I 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.

    I have been seeing Dr. Carmine for about a month for my back pain. When I say I haven’t felt this great since before my accident that is not an understatement. He has worked wonders so far in under a month. I highly recommend coming here if your having any sort of pain. I can’t lie to you, the work you put in outside of the office is crucial. You have to be consistent to see progress. Overall 10/10 experience

    Carmine 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!

    Carmine 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!
