I had tried a lot of stretching and expensive massages, but they only provided temporary relief and I was desperate for a lasting solution. Dr. Fidler customized a program for me and through following it consistently, my pain has not only dissipated, it has not come back since. He is knowledgable, communicative, and collaborative - adapting my programming to my specific needs and concerns as they came up throughout the process. I'm so happy I came to him, and I absolutely recommend you do the same if you're struggling with ongoing pain.

I saw two chiropractors there over the course of a few months for pain in my lower back and hips. I…read morehad high hopes for the first one. He got points for taking me at my word and not getting condescending when I told him that he couldn't adjust me face down on the table because I have a flat upper back and that method simply doesn't work. But he blew it when I told him, after he rushed through an adjustment, that he missed a spot. "No, we got everything. You just need to..." "Could you just trust me on this? You did not get everything." I got back on the table and *crack crack crack* "Told ya you missed a spot." The second dude was nice and friendly enough but when I asked him what I could be doing to prevent or mitigate the pain, he said "Just keep coming in for those adjustments!" Wow. Someone should give that dude better talking points, because that was the worst possible answer he could have given. I have been seeing chiropractors on and off since I was 17yo. In that time I've had some truly amazing practitioners -- the kind that would demonstrate stretches to do to alleviate my pain or give me print outs detailing exercises to strengthen certain muscle groups, etc. Unfortunately, I've also had 3x as many truly mediocre ones, the kind that cared more about making a buck than they did about my pain. I almost forgot the part about how they were charging me more than my standard copay because my insurance didn't cover e-stim so they were charging me instead of, i don't know, not putting me on e-stim...? But whatever. I won't be going back.

Ben Taylor is an enigmatic healer. While he is empathic and a good listener, he learns each…read morepatient's body and then tries to reveal its balanced potential. I began seeing Dr. Taylor after about 6 months of chronic groin pain that had returned as a result of antibiotic use, prostatitis, and nerve strain. In addition, I had a locked-up sacrum and some spinal scoliosis. I had been to several urologists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, and pain specialists. I had tried auto-immune diets, tricyclic antidepressants, steroidal pain blocks, etc. Over a few months, we reasoned through the groin pain, hatched several action plans, and in the process, made real progress against the pain, and definitely corrected some spinal alignment issues I'd had since childhood. There are so few doctors who practice Osteopathic Manipulation (OMM or OMT), especially in New York. While Dr. Taylor does not accept health insurance, his office assistant is provide a detailed bill that is easy to submit for out-of-network insurance coverage. When I was searching for DOs in New York who practice OMT, I went to many who either did not spend any time or effort in the session or had no idea what they were doing. Dr. Taylor upholds the incredible legacy of osteopathy by being perceptively hands-on, spending time with his patients, and refusing to rush judgements.

While most of them were quite good, my experience with Brooklyn Health (mostly Mike and Matt, but also Michele) was exceptional. The initial evaluation was the most thorough I have ever had, and the exercises they gave me were different and far more effective than anything I have had before. They explained what each exercise was intended to do, and then made sure that I was doing each one correctly for maximum benefit. They dealt with my insurance company multiple times. The facility is clean and well-equipped. The office staff was friendly and helpful. I "graduated", feeling very confident that I have improved more than ever, and they gave me a home program, complete with videos, to keep me in good shape.

From the moment you enter the office, Arlene was friendly and more the willing to help in any way, I had called on a Saturday at 1pm and the receptionist answered my main concerns and that is so important to me. Now the therapist Demetrios was fantastic, listening and moving in the correct direction, he gave me a comfort level I felt several years ago in all aspects of recovery I needed.

I want to be very transparent that this was my…read morefirst time going to physical therapy and the only reason I know it was that bad is because I now have a basis for comparison. I broke my elbow on Labor Day, had surgery, then my Orthopedist recommended that I start a course of physical therapy to progress my healing. Most physical therapy offices in the neighborhood couldn't get me in for at least a month, so I went on Yelp and started calling around and made an appointment at two different offices this week. The place I just went to today was leaps and bounds better than this place. I know physical therapy is supposed to be hard, but this particular practice made it so much harder than necessary. I actually left in tears and sobbed the entire way home. And I'm not a cryer. I'll attempt to explain what I hope will be constructive feedback below. Administration: - The staff was pretty friendly over the phone and even offered to help me with the insurance process (they are out-of-network for me). - When I arrived, I was asked to wait about 10 minutes while they restarted their iPad to fill out the intake forms. I spent another 10 minutes filling out the forms, only for the iPad to stop working again. They said this had been happening all day. - When I asked if they could send me the intake form via email, they said yes and then did so after I left. My recommendation would be to email all patients the intake form before their appointment. Also, if the office had been having iPad issues all day, it would have been great if they could proactively email the intake form to everyone that was on the schedule for that day. - Finally, this office is not fully vaccinated and some members of the staff were walking around with their masks below their nose. Communication: - I saw Francis Reyes. His communication skills left a lot to be desired. - I explained to him that I had never been to PT before and that I would prefer if he explain everything to me in full detail: what's going on with me from a medical perspective, what's going on during the treatment, and what to expect. He did not, even after asking several times. - We had a few awkward exchanges. The first one was when he asked me "What type of surgery did you have?" I was confused by this question, since he was already aware the I fractured my left humerus. He couldn't elaborate. - He then said to me "the only way for you to heal is through aggressive stretching." I asked him why that was the only way and he replied, "Because it is." Again, no medical rationale was given. I then asked, "Would gradual stretching be possible?" and he responded "Oh! It will be gradual!" Those are two different things. The treatment: - In this facility, the Physical Therapist takes multiple patients at a time. The therapy takes place in back where a series of tables are lined up separated by a curtain - kind of like an emergency room. - For treatment, the first 15 minutes consisted of heat and electro stim where they left me in the room to lay by myself. Then a DEEP DEEP (painful) massage by Francis, then a few seconds of aggressive stretching at the end (ridiculously painful). - A few times I asked Francis to explain to me what was going on. Instead, he gave me dad jokes and asked me about my weekend. I'm usually not one for small talk, especially when I'm in so much pain that I can't speak. I asked him why he was asking me this and he said to get my mind off of it. - My feedback here is that, if a patient tells you how they prefer to communicate, you should listen to them. For some, taking their mind off things might work better for them, but for me, knowing what is going on calms my mind. - I also jokingly asked him a couple of times if this was supposed to be torture and he matter-of-factly said yes. - During the stretching, it only lasted a few seconds, but again, Francis didn't explain this beforehand. I probably would have been less scared if I knew the stretching would only last a few seconds. - At the end, I was sobbing. Francis didn't ask me if I was okay. Instead he said "make an appointment for Friday" and walked away. I asked for a few minutes before I left, which I took sitting in that little room sobbing. He gave me no exercises to do at home. Francis' approach to communication seems to be: as long as he knows everything will be fine, he doesn't feel he needs to communicate this to the patient. He will simply allow the patient to go through the experience and learn for themselves. If you are a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I would expect a certain level of communication, bedside manner, and sympathy. A little coaching, cheerleading, and positive reinforcement would have gone a long way. I got none of this. I am not coming back and if you are curious to hear about the excellent experience I had at the other place, please check my reviews.

New addition to the neighborhood and I'm excited for the new location…read more I first started visiting their Bay Ridge location due to a calcaneal fracture and wanted to try out their new location. Both locations are equally great with amazing staff, a clean environment and you will always receive a warm welcome. Lana is amazing and makes you feel at ease even though you're in pain. The Atlantic Ave location is conveniently located with access to multiple train lines and buses. You can't miss the storefront as it has big windows with gold lettering. The decor has beautiful light fixture and the excersice machines are modern. The machines have a fan incorporated in them so you don't feel too hot while working out. The excersice area is spacious so you won't feel cramped while others are using the machines as well. Obviously seeking a Physical Therapist isn't due to any pleasurable reasons and Francis and Feliz (PTs) will make you feel pain you have never felt before. You will shortly realize the pain is worth the pleasure you will feel once you start gaining movements you couldn't do before. I'm on my 2nd month of recovery and noticed the difference after my 3rd visit and yes, you will want to curse your PT on while you're receving your massages or while doing the excersices but, think of it like a workout at the gym, if you don't experience the pain and push the limits then you will never see the gains. Besides, the music playing will have you singing and reminiscing of all the great songs your parents would listen to on the weekends.
