I saw three different therapists here, Angel, Keena, and John for a shoulder injury. I referred…read morethree different people to them. I even took my mom to see them when she was visiting and was having back pain. I thought the therapy sessions were very good, particularly because they do a lot of manual therapy, more than most other PTs I've been to. Recently, I made an appointment for to take my daughter to see them, as she has plantar fasciitis and has been in a lot of pain. It took almost two weeks to get an initial appointment for her but because I had a good experience before, I thought it was worth waiting. They confirmed that they take my insurance (I have a different insurance plan than I used to--Aetna now), but that I may have to pay my deductible if it has not been met yet. This seemed typical so I agreed. Then, four hours before the actual appointment, they called to tell me that because my insurance deductible has not been met, the cost of the visit would be $950. (I have a different insurance plan than I used to.) I asked how much it would have been if I had no insurance and was paying out of pocket, and they said $125. They could not explain why they would charge $950 to someone with insurance but only $125 to someone with no insurance. They said when you have insurance, the therapists use certain billing codes since they are part of the Montefiore hospital system, and that's just how it is. I find this wildly unethical, so I cancelled this appointment and will be looking for a more ethical practice.

I appreciate the proximity to my apartment and the ease it is to get appointments. I wish that I had more one on one attention with the physical therapists because sometimes I'm halfway through my set and they come over and correct something.

Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience here. 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.

I also saw her work with two others during my hour (typically 2-3 clients per therapist at my locale) and noted that her attentive listening skills, careful monitoring of correct positioning (even from across the room) and thoughtful selection of moves based on supplied info was the same high quality for each client. She's also got a warm, humorous but also professional demeanor that put me at ease and made me feel secure about my care and even made it pleasant experience. I do not passionately crave all types of exercise, so that was a good motivator. Again, she was subbing for just one day, but I understand that she's new to the Prospect practice, so thought it might be helpful to provide this single-visit snapshot.

AMAZING!!! This…read moreplace is actually fantastic and Dr. Melanie Carminati is a neighborhood gem. Melanie moved her office to Park Slope this summer from Carrol Gardens. I came here after a terrible experience at another place and I am so grateful they are now in the neighborhood. The entire process from start-to-finish was seamless and professional. The office staff helped me get an appointment earlier than normal because I was post-op (I had just undergone surgery for a fractured humerus/elbow) and this healing time is crucial. Most other places in the neighborhood wouldn't book me for another month and Inspira got me in the following week. I received all forms via email: intake forms, detailed instructions on how to work with insurance, and an electronic invoice. This was great, because it meant I could be taken immediately when I arrived for my appointment without waiting or sitting in a waiting room filling out annoying forms. I was immediately greeted by Melanie after checking in. She led me to the back where she sees patients in a private room. I was happy to see this, because PT can be nerve-wracking and I wasn't sure how much pain I was about to experience. It was also nice to get her full attention. Right off the bat, she started explaining everything to me from a medical perspective in great detail. She explained how the body works, that the elbow and other joints have capsules surrounding them, how the connective tissue works, etc. She also explained that we will need to work on my neck, shoulder, and elbow, because they would have all been affected as a result of the accident. This additional information about the process really helped me ease my nerves. The treatment was extremely gentle and thorough. The entire time, Melanie communicated to me what was going on and why she was doing certain things. She alternated between gently massaging my arm and stretching over an extended period of time instead of forcing my arm open over a short period of time. The stretches hurt, but her method of therapy made it so that it was bearable. I walked in with a 40 degree angle in my left arm and she got me all the way to 25! Her bedside manner is also as calm and gentle as you can possibly get. She gave me several exercises to do at home and helped me schedule me for appointments for the next few weeks to ensure that I get the treatment I need during this crucial time. I am coming back tomorrow. I highly highly recommend coming here. Dr. Melanie is extremely kind, intelligent, helpful, and skilled at what she does. I had a hard time getting an appointment in the neighborhood at some of the more well-known places, but I am glad I came here. This place is as good as it gets.

I never expected nor have I ever experienced a therapeutic or medical professional, paying…read moreattention to the finer details of my fat body...until now This is a team of dancers not bodybuilders. And that's an important distinction. The level of fat-phobia and misogyny I've had to navigate in past physical therapy environments is truly oppressive and detrimental to my health. But dancers are trained to see lines in the body. They tell me when my hips are 1 mm off, small impactful adjustments to my positioning that most physical therapist don't see buried beneath the fat. I've been doing physical therapy and private Pilates physical therapy here for the last six months. When I started, I was experiencing suicidal ideation's due to unmanageable chronic pain. Cranial sacral therapy had an instant effect on the way I was experiencing my pain and my ideations greatly lessened. The communication between therapists is so on point, all of my sessions, feel seamless between therapists, they all know exactly where I'm at and what I did in each session. That's a level of being seen I have never experienced in my life. ***** They do not take insurance.***** This is not their fault. It feels like all of the medical care that has actually had a positive impact on my chronic illnesses and disabilities are not covered by insurance. I am going to try a few fancy insurances, to see if they will reimburse some of what I'm spending. If I had one wish for the space is that I wish they could offer sliding scale to people in need.
