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!!

April 10, 2023I 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.

August 24, 2022Carmaine 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!

Carmine and his awesome staffed have quite literally brought me back to life! They took the time to figure out what was right for me and proceeded accordingly — pushing when they needed to and letting me progress on my own pace (which I wanted to be fast all the time!). If you’re and athlete looking to be pushed so that you can bounce back ASAP - this is your place. Although, the care is tailored for every person I see come in …. It’s a super friendly and encouraging environment. I’m so thankful they came so highly recommended!

April 22, 2023Carmine 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.

February 12, 2022Carmine, 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.
