After trying several physical therapy practices over the years, I had never found a therapist I would truly consider exceptional--until I found Focal. I've been incredibly impressed by the level of care, expertise, and attention to detail I've received. I work with Michele, and she is outstanding. My case is somewhat complex, and Michele has been remarkably thorough in understanding my specific challenges and developing a treatment plan tailored specifically to my needs. The exercises she prescribes are thoughtful, targeted, and incredibly effective--they consistently feel exactly right for what my body needs. What truly sets Michele apart is that she combines exceptional clinical skill with a warm, positive personality. She could not be more delightful and bubbly, and her energy makes every appointment something I actually look forward to. It's clear that she genuinely cares about her patients and is deeply invested in helping them succeed. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found both Michele and Focal. This has been, by far, the best physical therapy experience I've ever had, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. As an added bonus, Focal's automated text system alerts you to appointment cancellations and lets you claim an open slot with a single click. It's such a convenient feature and makes scheduling so much easier. read more

I have been going to this physical therapy location for over a month now and I can only say great things. All the PT's I have worked with have been exceptional-they are caring, polite, kind and very knowledgable. They always check-in to see how the therapy is going and what can be improved/changed and they are all very patient and willing to answer questions and help guide the session. The office staff as well is exceptional, from the PT aide's to the front desk support everyone is friendly and welcoming even when they are busy and the phones are ringing and multiple arrive for their session. The office is very clean and there is rarely a wait when I come for my scheduled appointment time, they are almost always on schedule. I have been to other physical therapy practices over the years and I found this one superior--also they accept many insurances which has made things much easier financially as well. They seem to treat a wide range of ailments--my situation dealing with contact and painful headaches was a bit unique but they have three therapists who are trained in headache management and I have had the opportunity to meet with all three of them on different dates. Annmarie and both Steven's are fantastic. I have finally started to get some relief for these debilitating headaches! read more

Shara, JJ and all the others I've worked with at FPT for a knee injury have been incredible. They were quick to fit me in and flexible with my crazy work schedule. I saw a difference within weeks working with the team and they're great at ramping up the intensity in a way that strengthens, not hurts. 10/10 recommend - I couldn't be happier to have worked with them. read more

If I could give Focal Physical Therapy 10 stars I would!! I was recommended to FPT by a PT friend of mine because I needed a specialist in vestibuler PT to treat my vertigo. Upon calling I explained the urgency of my condition. Within moments I was called back & gratefully I was squeezed in to Neil Chernick's tight schedule. Neil was very thorough, taking comprehensive notes of my history etc... This was followed by a maneuver & some exercises. Soon after my first visit I felt relief. Neil continued to work on me, as well as providing me with exercises to do at home. Within just a few sessions my vertigo was gone. I've been to many PT facilities for several injuries including a neck surgery. I have never experienced at any other PT facility that in which the care I received from Neil at Focal PT. Neil followed up between appointments with emails checking in on my progress. His bedside manner, care & professionalism is bar none. I truly felt like I was his only patient. The facility is very clean, the front desk staff is caring, friendly & happy to find the time & appointment you need. I can't recommend FPT enough. You will be in the very very best of care. read more

I've been to several physical therapy offices. I've banged myself up pretty well. Access in Armonk has the most qualified and intense knowledgeable physical therapists. I had hip surgery that had 4 horrendously painful side effects. After the 2nd surgery, Kimberly took the best care of me. I felt like I was treated like a professional athlete that needed to get back in the game. Kimberly designed my rehab and fine tuned and adjusted it when I needed it. The atmosphere was great and I felt in very good hands and comfortable. I was able to work hard when I could and back down if I didn't. I always left like I did my best, all thanks to Kimberly. She has her PhD so she's ultra qualified also a triathlon sportsperson. Then I had a bone on bone shoulder replacement and Chris took the best care of me, just like when Kimberly did. Chris also has his PhD and knows everything. He's a super athlete in lacrosse. Chris custom designed my workouts and adjusted them as I progressed. I felt like every single workout was perfect for my level of pain and improvement. Every excerise worked to help me get better. With Kimberly and Chris, workouts were never easy, but they felt like exactly what the doctor ordered. In fact, both HSS surgeons highly recommended Access Physical Therapy.. My middle son just got a referral today for Access Armonk only for his back from another HSS surgeon. There is no better place to be treated in the best of hands. Neil manages Armonk perfectly. Appointment scheduling and insurance. read more

The team at Access Physical Therapy did a great job helping me through a neck issue. My doctor recommended that I work with Dr. Chris Coppolecchia, the Director of the Armonk office. In addition to my weekly visits, Chris provided me with exercises for home to keep me feeling great. Chris was knowledgeable, professional, and monitored my progress carefully. My experience was very positive and I recommend Access and Dr. Coppolecchia to anyone seeking PT in the area. read more

I worked with Kimberly Allen at Access PT to rehab my knee after meniscus surgery.

I had a great experience at Access PT and would recommend Access to anybody in the community who is looking for a PT professional. read more

Neil Chernick of Access Physical Therapy and Wellness in Armonk has been working with me on a nagging tennis elbow injury. Though my orthopedist was unsure if physical therapy would help me, Neil Chernick's treatment and exercise regimen has allowed me to return to performing daily tasks without pain. His extensive knowledge, ability to pinpoint the source of your pain/discomfort and overall optimistic, professional approach allows him to deliver positive results. I would highly recommend him. read more

Access Physical Therapy was recommended by my orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Marshal Peris. What a wonderful facility. After my initial introduction/physical therapy session, I knew I was in the right place. The entire staff was so pleasant, knowledgeable and thorough about providing the best physical therapy for a client recuperating from lower back surgery. I attended Access for almost three months, at least twice a week, and appreciated every visit. I no longer have some of the pain, discomfort or soreness I experienced on day one. All the therapists were patient, never pushy. I enjoyed many laughs with my therapists, Michelle, Angela, Cemre and Valerie while we stayed on point with no nonsense exercises. Neil, director, Margot and Samantha, specialists, were always kind and helpful. I will happily recommend Access Physical Therapy to family and friends! Thank you very much Access! read more

Neil Chernick is a true professional. His one on one physical therapy is handled in an efficient and personalized way and worth the 20 minute drive to get to his office. He is empathetic, focused, motivating and patient. He encourages questions and wants to be sure that you are clear on the treatment plan and that you are doing your home exercises correctly. Neil is a good listener and never presumes to know how you feel; for example whether you need ice or heat. When I have been unsure about getting a second opinion or having surgery I turn to him as a consultant. read more
