My go to place for PT in NYC! I see the same guy each time and it’s nice that he’s not multitasking with other patients.

February 16, 2017Arpan P.Verified patient

Great communication via SMS to check insurance. Friendly and welcoming when arrived. Provider saw us right away. My son is 15 yrs old and David was great with him in terms of energy and being fun but firm and effective with showing him stretches and strengthening techniques. Great find and very happy with the service which we will do long term now.

David is amazing ! I have seen him for many orthopedic issues including my lower back, neck, and ankle. He has a great bedside manner and actually cares about his patients. He responds quickly to my messages and scheduling is always very flexible. The team at Riser is great and I cannot recommend them enough.

DWVerified patient

Highly recommend the team at Riser for any physical therapy, chiropractic and pain management needs. David Gershkovich, PT was very knowledgeable, engaging and methodical. He approached my pt needs in a manner that made me feel completely at ease and even saw results as quickly as the end of my 1st session. The team was equally as knowledgeable and supportive in their respective practice focus areas of Chiropractic and Pain Management. Planning to return on a weekly basis and excited to get past some longer term pain I've been shouldering for far too long. Highly recommend.
