I love to dance and I had begun to dance again to lose weight but my knees were screaming. In the beginning I was very frustrated. I've had knee issues forever. I was born with hypermobile knee caps and they are too high up. I cried because the straight leg raises hurt a lot. Now I can do a lot more before pain starts. I can tighten my quads now without having to hold my knee caps (to prevent them displacing). Now I can walk faster and longer without stopping all the time. I feel stronger. I walked 6 miles with minimal pain the other day. Thank you Dr. Chris and Dr. Phil! They are patient and work with your needs!

I had been to Next Step for many other parts of my body with extraordinary success, never thought of going to PT for my foot, just thought of orthotic type footwear but I asked the orthopedist about PT? Little did I know that I was missing out on the innovative techniques of Dr. Chris Ostling. After 2 months of retraining my walk, proper placement and exercises, I have found a new way to avoid pain and do all of the things that I had been avoiding. Who Knew!!! Dr. Chris Ostling did and I thank you for that, Chris, and your patient staff. Remember, you do not have to live with pain or have surgery....there IS another option! Ann C.

Come Monday morning, I am hardly able to walk across my house let alone carry on with regular daily walking. But my appointments with Cameron and his interns have me walking out feeling brand new.

Cameron has an excellent hands on approach mixed in with the fact he's an amazing people person, can talk to you about everything and anything, and you can tell he truly cares about his patients.

I would suggest working with these angels if PT is needed.

This is the fourth time I've needed physical therapy and have come to Islandwide. I was referred to…read morethem before I had extensive knee surgery in 2006. My knee was really messed up and my surgeon said some pre-op physical therapy would help with the post-op healing and he really trusted this practice. I was nervous, but found there was no need. These folks were amazing. That first time, I went through almost a year of therapy with better-than-expected results. Since then, my husband and I have gone back about 4 times over the years for PT. It's so nice that they remember us like it was yesterday every time, even if we haven't been in for years. We wouldn't go anywhere else. They've changed locations over the years, and we've followed Rich and Mike each time. I like their Hicksville location very much, and was introduced to Dr. Dave Cazalet. I hadn't met him before this round of PT, but he was as nice as if I'd always known him. The whole staff is great. There's lots of parking and the office is easily accessible and convieniently located. This office takes away a lot of the stress you might feel going to a doctor. Not only are they great therapists, the atmosphere is warm and friendly. It's actually kind of fun, if you can believe a doctor's office could be fun. Even the patients make you feel welcomed. And if first impressions matter to you, you'll be sold immediately when you meet Judy, the smiling face who greets you at the front desk. If you're in pain, I recommend you get yourself into Islandwide and feel better.

This great team is still functioning, welcoming, treating and helping patients get better during the current pandemic. 1) The appointment process was seamless, thorough and perfect. My mother was referred to Dr Richard Obedian, Orthopedic Surgeon here by our Chiropractor. They called her immediately, got her insurance info and made a 12:30 pm appointment. 2) They stressed and absolutely ensured our Covid related health status, symptoms etc and required us to wear masks. Loved that! The office was also set up with 2 big chairs in front of the desk to create that 6 feet plus space. 3) Got a great warm welcome. Did not wait long and Mom was taken in for x rays and then the exam room. 4) The entire staff from the front desk( Hailey, Robin and Maria) to the RN Lauren to Dylan the great PA were warm, really looked out for her and were on the ball. 5) Doc Obedian was fantastic as was Dr Daniel Feldman the Pain Mgmt Doc. The latter took his time with Mom going over her MRI and broke everything down in simple terms geared specifically towards her condition. He listened and made some great recommendations to assist with her path to recovery. The common thread - they really cared for her. 6) The communication via phone was great. Dylan and Lauren called back to check up on her and advised re the change in her prescriptions. 7) The office was sanitized all the time. 8) They were on the ball with ordering the MRI, calling in the prescriptions. My mother is doing better. I Thank God and and I really want to recognize this amazing office for truly taking care of and healing human beings with love, warmth and their superior expertise. I highly recommend Island Sports and Spine.

Except for the doctors' assistants, Lauren and Teresa, who are excellent and caring, my experience…read morewith Drs. Sonstein and Obedian was negative. My recovery after surgery has been much more difficult, painful, and prolonged than I was led to expect. If you've ever experienced nerve pain, you know how intense and unrelenting it can be, which made the lack of empathy and impersonal treatment by them that much more disappointing. Dr. Sonstein arrived at my hospital room the day after my surgery, to do his first and only post-op visit. In between talking to someone else on his cell phone, he quickly told us that he was very rushed--never a good thing when your job requires precision and care--and that he couldn't stay "more than a minute". He visually examined my incision (no more than a few seconds) and then quickly left the room (all while still on a phone call, obviously distracted). In the full year since my surgery, I have not heard from him, not even once, to ask about my recovery or if the pain meds were working. What a disappointing and shabby way to treat a patient. Clearly, my spinal surgery meant nothing more than a metric to him. Dr. Obedian was somewhat better, although he too was distracted on his cell phone during the first post-op hospital visit, and he too left the room quickly with no chance for a conversation. In my follow-up visits to his office it was clear to me that he was not familiar with my current pain management regime, and he and his PA twice prescribed pain and nerve medication that we had previously ruled out. I can't tell whether the surgery was successful. My lifestyle is still adversely impacted by pain (albeit, less pain than before) and limitations on my daily activities. Perhaps that improvement means that the surgery was as good as they had hoped for (or maybe even better), or perhaps it was substandard. I simply don't know.

She cares about getting to know the patients names and is so friendly every time I come in. The equipment here is top notch. It is clear a lot of thought went into how they designed the office and studio. My favorite parts of my experience with physical therapy is the use of their gravity treadmill (it's so cool!), the electric stimulation and the laser therapy.
