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.

April 24, 2023Carmaine 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, 2023This is my second round with Carmine, albeit 20+ years apart. Carmine and his staff are the best. They treat you like family and get the job done. Very clear and concise explanations and demonstrations. They monitor you and your progress and easily pick up on things to help you or when something has suddenly caused a little discomfort. They adapt your rehab to you specific needs. Can’t say enough great things about them! Hope I never need them again, but comforting to know if I do, I’ll be in the best of care!

February 9, 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!

December 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.
