Testimonials

  • 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.

    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.

    This 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!

  • 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.

    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.

    Carmaine 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!
