My doctor prescribes PT for me and I immediately thought I'd be going to one of the big chains…read morewhich I have not cared for in the past. (They seem so impersonal.) oPTtimum was the exact opposite. The level of care and expertise was unsurpassed! Everyone in the office was friendly and professional. From day 1 they all knew you by name and really listened as they treated you and created a plan for recovery. Scheduling appointments was easy, and effort was made to have you only work with no more than 2 therapists so that they really knew your case. The techs and assistants were just as professional and friendly. Hopefully I won't ever need PT in the future (who am I kidding as we all age). oPTimum will be my go to place and my referral for anyone who asks!

Someone blogged that rehabilitation from my injury, a trimalleolar fracture of the left ankle…read morerequiring corrective ORIF surgery, was "a life-changing test of endurance". Indeed it is! Upon entering the office, bulletin boards greet patients with Thank You cards and handwritten letters of gratitude, a great first impression. My 'Franken-ankle' and I met with my primary therapist Snehal, or "Snay" as he happily told me as we discussed our new ongoing relationship. As a competitive, nationally ranked amateur ballroom dancer, returning to my sport was an important goal to achieve. Snehal understood that as we designed a rehabilitation plan inclusive of activities I performed at home where I continued to build on the process we achieved during our office sessions. Over the past six months, together we diligently worked my way back to my 'normal'. Snehal welcomed my feedback and creatively applied a variety of therapeutic modalities addressing each concern. When appropriate, I utilized the expertise of his colleagues Hemal and Colleen and other team members to focus on my unique needs. Optium's friendly environment fosters a competent, caring focus and concern for well-being. Unlike other 'chain' PT environments, I was never made to feel that my input wasn't relevant, that I was imposing on anyone's schedule, rushed out the door because I exceeded the allotted time for my appointment or left alone to work on an exercise because of lack of staff. Someone was always there to watch me, recognize and cheer on my progress, and participate WITH me. The adage says "you get out of life what you put into it". Success in any form of rehabilitation hinges on this very concept - which is why finding the right therapist to work on your recovery team is crucial. Look no further than Optimum whose team puts their very best into helping their patients achieve their life goals. You will not be disappointed.

She is such a joy to go to and I can trust her to make the necessary adjustments to align my body. She is always so positive and I can't recommend her enough. Treatment usually also involves stim and ultrasound (they use bio freeze for the ultrasound and it's like a mini massage.. my favorite). Ive read some of the other reviews and do think that maybe one of the assistants that work there are not my favorite (not terrible but not over the top friendly if that's what you're expecting.. except dr Shannon haha she is definitely so smiley and friendly ) but overall the staff is pleasant and personable.

Not only that he was able to find the source of my pain when I thought I was a hypochondriac but he put my mind to rest when he discovered what was wrong with me and causing me debilitating pain through my entire body.

Doctor Cha performed the Intracept procedure on my back 2 weeks ago. The recovery from the surgery…read morewas about 2 days. 4 days after the procedure I was able to determine my pain level was lower than prior to the procedure. It has now been 2 weeks and my pain level is about 50% of the level prior to the procedure. Dr Cha indicated I should see additional relief over the next 6 months. Given the severity level of back pain I had experienced for the past 30 years I am very pleased with the results so far. The Doctor and his team were very professional, answered all of my questions, and made me comfortable and confident prior to the procedure. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Cha to anyone experiencing pain.

It's the people. They're a very professional, savvy, and compassionate, bunch. I've worked primarily with two therapists, Daniel and Cyp, Daniel primarily. Daniel is perhaps the best physical therapist I've ever have a pleasure of working with. (This includes IBJI PT after rotator cuff surgery.) He's very smart, a great listener, extremely empathic and applied what he learns to routines he designs for home use. You'll have a great experience with this terrific organization, see if you can score Daniel to work with you, you'll absolutely be pleased. Caroline and husband John run the place and Caroline spent time with me designing a schedule that meets Aetna's requirements and provides me with the best PT with Daniel. I highly recommend North shore, conveniently located on 1st Street with street parking and directly across from City parking. The facility is comfortable and clean, and everyone I've met has been fantastic! If I made Daniel sound too good to be true, it might be because he's absolutely one of the best around I'm sure.
