I am writing to express my observations and opinion of A Better Life Physical Therapy in West New…read moreYork, New Jersey. I began my physical therapy for severe mobility issues a couple of days before the first lockdown. As we heard of the news of a pending lockdown, my first thought was my physical therapy would now be delayed for an unforeseeable amount of time. This was not the case. As the news reached A Better Life, I watched as Dr. Michael Mastropasqua sprung into action, immediately disinfecting every machine and piece of equipment as it was being used. Needless to say, there was no interruption in my therapy, and the constant disinfecting is still practiced. As I continued my own therapy, I watched as patients came and went. I was taken by an 80 year old woman who came in seeking therapy for her recent diagnosis of Parkinson's. As Dr. Michael explained he needed to have her on the table for initial therapy observations, you can see she was very concerned about getting herself up onto the table and the embarrassment this might cause her. Dr. Michael saw her struggling with what she needed to do and he gently got her on the table with no problem or embarrassment to the her. Lastly, I was especially taken by a baby, who was probably no older than 1 year, who came in with his mom because he was having difficulty turning himself over in his crib. Dr. Michael immediately began the treatment. Several days later, which might be hard to believe, another infant, most likely the same age, came in with his mom, having the exact same issue. After a couple of treatments, both babies were rolling over with no issues. On one of the babies last treatment day, Dr. Michael was demonstrating to the mom what exercises needed to be done at home. Dr. Michael proceeded to put the baby on his back and placed both his forefingers in front of the baby. The baby reached out and took both of Dr. Michael's fingers into his own two hands and lifted himself up doing actual sit ups. How this baby knew how to do this is beyond me, but with the help of Dr. Michael, he did know how. As for me, my therapy will resume over the next couple of months, at which time, I'm sure, I will receive exactly what I need from A Better Life Physical Therapy to continue on the path to wellness. My legs are at least 80 percent better, and I can thank Dr. Michael and his patience, and my own hard work. I hope everyone finds what they need at Able Body Physical Therapy. Good luck!!

There is a comforting vibe in there that's between a private doctor's office and local spa. Everyone is very organized and able to help answer any questions you have. There's a great view of Jersey City and NYC across the water that adds a sunny disposition to your sessions. PT Jen is wonderful. She's got a passion for her job which carries over to her staff. The desk ladies help around the office with lil things from bringing heat pads, to changing the radio station. Everyone is friendly and responsive, and check in on you as if they can sense when you need them. Jen juggles a busy morning so well, everyone gets her full attention, and she never looks stressed. She's got a mommy vibe mixed with a coach vibe, and when you gradually get better, she's just as happy as you. I've had one session with PT Josef, and he's great too, nurturing, and professional, and seems genuinely excited about helping people in various aspects. I attended a fundraiser boxing event he organized that provided scholarships as well as charity. I've come in at all stages of my pain, from grumpy to depressed to angry to encouraged, and there is always a smile, an adjustment, a challenge, a well-timed heated pad, and a supportive conversation. I can't say anything bad about the place, except I wish the bathroom was inside the office, but then that's not their fault, it's the old building architecture. My next step is surgery, but I'm better off having had therapy first. I've learned about my body, how to strengthen my core, exercises to do after surgery, and I'm able to walk into this surgery knowing all I need to know for a better recovery.

DO NOT TRUST YOUR FEET WITH THIS DOCTOR!…read more I visited Dr. Del Monte to have a few corns removed from my small toes on both feet. They weren't causing me any pain and it was only a cosmetic concern. At my consultation, he was quick to say I'd need surgery and given all the positive reviews I read on here I trusted him with all my heart and proceeded with the surgery. On the day of the surgery, a nurse asked me during pre-op if I was there for hammertoe surgery. This surprised me, as I had only asked Dr. Del monte to remove a few corns. When I brought it up with him, he explained, 'It's the same thing.' I trusted him and didn't question him any further. During our consultation, Dr. Del Monte had also convinced me to have my bunion removed. He explained that he would use a new procedure called lapiplasty, which involves inserting a metal plate to correct the deformity. He assured me that this technique was much simpler than a traditional bunionectomy and promised a three-month recovery time, with my feet looking great afterward. Fast forward to 8 months post-surgery, I realized that I can no longer curl up my toes like I used to. My toes can now only fan up and down in one direction (like a plastic doll's toes) and they were shortened too (something which I had do never asked him to do). Regarding the lapiplasty portion of the surgery, the recovery was far from the easy experience I was led to expect. It changed the way I walk, requiring me to undergo hours of physical therapy. I even had to have another surgery to remove the plate in hopes of finding relief and improving my gait, but unfortunately, that did not help. Dr. Del Monte downplayed the significance of the surgery and failed to adequately explain what it would entail. His poor clinical judgment has caused me immense pain and depression, to the point where I've been on antidepressant medication for over a year now. I'm only 30 years old and I've never faced as many issues as I have following the surgeries performed by Dr. Del Monte. I no longer enjoy doing yoga and pilates classes as I used to given how stiff and rigid my toes feel. My toes no longer feel natural and I constantly wear socks to avoid seeing the awful scars that have been left behind. I do not recommend getting surgery with Dr. Del Monte. He tried to make money of me and test a metal plate at the expense of costing me my mental and physical wellbeing. Once I addressed these issues with him, he only gaslit me by saying corn removal surgery and hammer toe surgery are the same thing and he constantly downplayed the situation by saying it will get better. I'm now almost 2 years post-surgery and things have not gotten better and I continue to struggle every single day. I even sought a second opinion from another qualified surgeon, who informed me that this surgery should never have been performed in the first place and there is no way to reverse any of it. If anyone is considering this type of bunion surgery, please do not let him talk you into it. I strongly urge you to join the "Lapiplasty before, during, after" Facebook group. There, you can read the experiences of hundreds of patients who, like me, were persuaded to undergo surgery by surgeons more interested in testing their devices than in the well-being of their patients. I have attached before-and-after pictures of my feet for reference. As you can see, I didn't even have a significant bunion; I sought this surgery solely for cosmetic reasons, but I ended up worse off. Doctors are supposed to be healers and take an oath to do no harm. Sadly this doctor did the opposite and I regret going to him with all my heart.

I went to Dr John Delmonte on November 2023 because of pain on bunion, right away he recommended a…read morenew procedure called Labplasty, he said recovery would only be 6 weeks, one year later I'm so much worse off than before, after 8 weeks I kept complaining of pain and he was dismissive, kept saying it was normal and just kept prescribing medication, after 5 months of pain and discomfort he decided to remove the hardware he had put into my foot, I still was not getting better so in June 2024 I decided to go see another doctor who proceeded to get me an MIR and a CT scan which Dr Delmonte never suggested to find out what was happening,the Ct revealed that two of my bones are not fused, the new doctor told me that in her opinion the surgery that he performed was to aggressive for such a simple problem. Now I have to deal with another operation, which would make it the third in less than a year, I'm in constant pain, my foot gets swollen if I walk more than an hour and I have numbness which new doctor said is irreversible, my life has changed so much, I can only wear sneakers, if I even wear flats my foot is swollen in less than an hour, please don't go to Dr Delmonte,when I used to go to him I started paying attention and realize that he would suggest surgery to so many of his patients,I am going to file a complaint against him, my life hasn't been the same. I wrote this in hopes that I may help people not go thru what I'm going thru
