My therapist Ed is awesome. He's always making sure I'm doing ok while helping me through the pain of bending my knee. It's torture.... But, No pain No gain. The staff is amazing.

I stared my PT sessions at the office with severe lower back pain, and thanks to Christina, Nicole, and the aides, I’m improving! Doing PT at Twin Boro definitely makes a difference in my daily life. Thank you.

This isn't my first time with this team — they also helped me recover from a triceps surgery last year, so when I herniated a few discs in my lower back, I knew exactly where to go. Anne, my main therapist, has been amazing both times. She took the time to understand this injury specifically and guided my recovery step by step, adjusting the program as I progressed. On the days Anne wasn't available, Roman and Carol stepped in seamlessly — both just as knowledgeable and attentive, so I never felt like I lost momentum in my treatment. You won’t go wrong with either of them. The PTA team — Matt, Michelle, Mark, Albert, Darius (doesn’t work here anymore) and a couple more whose names I don’t want to misspell - genuinely deserve special mention. They're very attentive, friendly, and always there to help, whether it's correcting your form, encouraging you through the tough reps, or just checking in on how you're feeling. Honestly, it feels like family in there, and that made a real difference on the harder days of recovery. Front desk staff Michael and Karen made scheduling a breeze every visit, and Keira on the insurance side was a huge help getting authorizations and billing sorted, which took a lot of stress off my plate. Two injuries, one team I trust completely. Highly recommend if you need a Physical Therapy team that focuses and is dedicated to your recovery in the right way!

Response from the owner:Hi, thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a positive experience. Our team works hard to provide the best possible care, and it's great to see that it shows.
