Upper East Side Physical Therapy

Testimonials

Our Patients Love Us!

Have to give a 5 star review, if I could give ten stars, I would. Have been searching for a non-factory type physical therapy practice near to where I live on the UES – I found it!! After going to the same place, which will remain namesless, that spends no time with you, I needed a change. Have gone four times already – two physical therapists – three patients maximum at one time – hands-on, no pun intended, individualized care throughout your appointment. No assistants who watch you do the exercises incorrectly. I read the Google and Nextdoor reviews and take them seriously. Bravo Physical Therapy ESR.

The team is incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely cares about your recovery. From my first visit, they took the time to understand my situation and created a personalized plan that really worked. I’ve made immense progress thanks to their guidance and support. The facility is clean, well-equipped, and appointments always run on time. Highly recommend!

Abe Zaidman

East Side Rehab (ESR) has been great and has really helped heal a knee injury from a fall. Both James & Saida have been excellent at coming up with a variety of exercises, stretches and massage that all helped in different ways. They make the time go quickly with an enjoyable and pleasant environment. The space is very clean and they are always accommodating with respect to appointment times. I highly recommend them if you need rehab therapy.

After 30 years of on and off PT I never thought I could find someone so perfect as James. I couldn’t ask for a therapist so incredibly knowledgeable, experienced and so delightful. I hit gold!!

James and Saida are simply the best in PT, and I’ve been treated by many during my active, 70+ years. I feel better and stronger than ever. Awesome practice.

Leah Bernstein

I spent 3 months at East Side rehab after a foot operation. I chose it for its location, knowing nothing about it or its staff. My experience was fantastic. My PT expert was knowledgeable, cheerful, concerned and fun to work with. She was constantly coming up with new exercises so as to exercise different parts of my foot. The place is clean and welcoming. If in need of PT in the future, I will immediately head there.

I consulted with ESR for shoulder arthritis. I have really been happy with the results. Saida has been amazing. She is deeply knowledgeable in her field and deploys a variety of techniques and methods during our weekly sessions. It is very personalized and their therapy space is very clean and well equipped. I’m very happy with my improvement over 3 months. I would highly recommend ESR to anyone who values professional and caring services.

ESR Physical therapists are thorough, caring and just strict enough.

Marita Oliver

I have had neck pain and severe limitation in rotation for more time than I want to admit. After less than 3 full weeks at ESR Physical Therapy, I have SO much less pain and the ability to actually turn my head almost 90 degrees. I highly recommend then.

Jaynie Gillman Crimmins

One-on-one care and attention (unlike the big chain facilities where I just felt like a number). I wasn’t making any progress with my dorsiflexion issues until I went to ESR. Definitely better than any other places I’ve tried in the area. Here, you get a lot of focus spent on your issue without other people around. I love ESR!

Becky Brooks

Eastside Rehab is amazing. Great location and space. I came in for a small meniscus tear and through PT I am beginning to not feel any pain and I feel stronger. Highly recommend!!!
